Hey! I have a couple of questions about this.
First of all does it matter how thin/thick the MDF board is? And secondly, how do i know where to put them in the room? And in which size do i need to bold them?
I’m thinking of building a pair of these in the size of 1×1 meter and have them hanging next to each other (i have absorbing material on all the other walls)

Great little project here, to add I think you would have got a lot more control of your bass frequencies by making the enclosure air tight. The open ends on your device reduces the “springy-ness” of the air behind the board which would have had a very effective dampening effect on low end frequencies. Sealing the edges with acoustic sealant and appropriately shaped wood would suffice. Otherwise the main benfit you get is the deflection of high end frequencies and absorption of medium frequencies absorbed by the rock wool. That said if t his has tamed your bass then great!

In reply to Mike.

Yeah, it’s definitely now a real quadratic diffuser like I said, and there might be some ambiguity as to what is called a diffuser, but I’m going to take the liberty of using that word since it’s familiar to the community.

Thanks for the tip Mike. I’ll keep that in mind.

In reply to Dave Chick. Simple and easy Dave. If I can do, most probably can since I'm still surprised I didn't amputate myself with the staple gun ;)

In reply to Interface Audio Ogden. Good to know. It would probably be a great way to make a live room sound live and controlled.
