Titanic Mkiii 15"

Thanks for the info Kex. Those panels aren't that bad looking and pretty cheap too. I already talked to wifee and I'm gonna put some designed fabric on the panels to make em look pretty. I'm hoping to make them look like decoration for the room as much as possible. Any tips for that?

Seems like lining the sub with fiber glass has some great benefits. Not bad!

I just used cheapo burlap, and made frames out of 1" x 2"'s (I think, maybe 1x3's) and wrapped the fiberglass panels in cotton batt off a roll, then cut the burlap to wrap around the back. Then I took my trusty staple gun and stapled the fabric to the back of the frame. There's a little air gap behind the fiberglass, but this saved me a lot of fabric by not having to wrap the back side that rests against the wall. This was incredibly easy, and once you figure out how to fold the fabric to make it look clean and trim, it's simple. Saved a ton of money over buying premade panels.

Careful with the fabric - use burlap, muslin, or an acoustically transparent designer fabric like Guilford of Maine. Pricey stuff though.

Most searches seem to only pull up fabrics of solid color. No designs or patterns. Do you know of any sites that have some type of designs on these fabric?

Thanks

Panels are ordered and on the way. I talked it over with wifee and going with a solid color burlap is cool. Kex do you recommened glueing the burlap to the panels? Not sure if I asked already.

I bet you could!!!

Edit - okay, this new "winky" smiley has a little "kiss" feature...that ain't cool - it's being replaced by a non suggestive normal smiley....there, that's better

Yeah I'm gonna make a few more panels. Maybe a natural or darker brown though.

Brown? Now, you know that won't match my living room.
