I can't claim my wainscoting is aesthetic,my walls are covered with pink insulation pressed to the wall between wainscoting.
I got a couple of extra panels so that I can place them in front of non-uniform areas so that I can bounce the midtweet output off it in the Rooze setup/with Limage bass panels. I can then adjust for asymmetry in the room to have precise angles and paths of bounce and thus also a way to calculate delays to achieve time alignment. I am hoping I don't need to glue damping compound on to the wainscoting but first rap test was not promising.

If you're doing Rooze, I don't think you want damping material at the first reflection points, since you're primarily listening ot the reflection. Though when I tried it down here it was surprisingly insensitive to the nature of the surfaces.
I am talking about damping the back of the wainscoting panels if they ring. I chose them because they did not seem to do badly on tone when pinged, and had a hard surface. If I have to damp them I will bungee cord styrofoam to it and possibly trap viscoelastic foam in betwenn the styrofoam and wainscoting.
I used styrofoam reflectors before and they were a bit midrangey in their response,
Ah, OK, sorry I misunderstood. Still not fully caught up.
Know what you mean about styrofoam. It doesn't have enough mass to reflect the lows and it also ends to resonate at midrange frequencies.
