Hi, I was wondering what you meant about the backing (plywood panel?) and how you used the FSK, i.e. facing is toward the room or away from the room, etc? Thanks

Sorry about that.  By backing, I do mean FSK.  All panels w/ FSK have the FSK side facing the wall -- 2 on the front wall; 2 behind the listening position; and the panel on the floor and the one I can put in front of the TV or in front of the TV stand have the FSK too, which I have (so far) placed facing the floor and TV. 

So, in simpler terms, the FSK faces away from the room.

The 2 corner boxes and the 2 at the first reflection points on the side walls do not have FSK.

I got 192 sq. ft. of 703 (without backing) and 48 sq. ft. of 703 (with backing) for $214.

In the Boston area, OC 703 w/o FSK is $86.XX for a "case" of (12) 2'X4'X2" sheets.

Which is about $12 more than I paid.   :wink:

Try California, mine was a little over a hundred!  Still a lot cheaper than online considering shipping though!

Thanks!  Just need to take an iron to the corner folds and maybe down the middle.  Will build 2 more over the next few days (two 1' x 4' x 4").

Won't be able to take measurements until later this week, as I found out the disc I need for my laptop is on backorder.  If the disc doesn't work, I'll need a new HD.

Well, I'm still without my laptop, so I can't take measurements, yet.  However, the backup disc shipped and if it arrives tomorrow, I will FINALLY be able to take new measurements.  (well, that is if I don't actually need a new HD)

This weekend, I will hopefully get to the last 2 panels (two 1' x 4' x 4") for above the window, also.  Too much stuff came up, though. . .so I have a feeling that won't happen.
