RE: Diffusor w/ Fiberglass for absorbtion? - Will this work?

> Saw this Diffusor a while back - looks good, but will it work?

That's not really a diffusor, but it's better than a bare wall.

> I guess the root of my question is will having fiberglass behind the wooden front panel do anything for absorption? I would think it wouldn't absorb much bc the sound would reflect off the front. <

Exactly. A much better way to make a diffusor is to use thick shiny card stock, or really thin balsa wood etc, to reflect at frequencies the diffusor is effective and to absorb at frequencies below.
