Room treatments without $$$


I'm in the process of finishing my basement, and part of it is going to be music/movie room.

What can I do without going too fancy and spending $$$

DIY acoustic panels. Go to Home Depot and buy some 1x3 wood and make a frame 16"x48" and get some Roxul fiberglass insulation and fill er up.

Buy some cloth and staple it together.

Total cost: $12 each panel.

Works darn good.

Go to the resource section on our site. It has lots of DIY links for acoustical treatment devices. It also has links to many articles on the web and books that may help you as well. The most important aspect is getting the size right--size matters, but it's the ratios of dimensions and what you do within that space that really counts.

Here's a link to our resources:

No mention of DIY acoustical treatment resources is complete, I think, without Jon Risch's pages.
