RE: egg carton room treatment

kenzo,

Egg cartons are not a very good treatment for a room.

I have supplied some very simple and easy DIY Acoustics treatment info, see below.

For not much more effort than you would have spent on putting up a bunch of egg cartons, you can build your own bass traps and wall panels.

Note that a single fiberglass panel is NOT a bass trap, or anywhere close to that, it takes some sheer absorbing material (ala my Super Quick & Dirty bass traps), or some technology and science to make a more effective compact bass trap.
