I’ve watched dozens of videos on this exact topic, and always wondered why no one was trying to cover the rigid fibreglass without a frame. You get my subscription based on that alone, but then the fact that you went way over and above and were so thorough and so detailed and did such an excellent analysis that I’d get two subscriptions if I could! This was the first video of yours that I’ve seen. I will be watching more. Thank you so much!

Commenting for the algorithm cause this is by far the best video out there on sound panels.

This is the only DIY acoustic panels that I would actually consider making. Like idk why so many other YouTubers are like "Hey you can do this yourself!" but then go to their professionally equipped workshop and wip out their table saws, staple guns, and work benches. Like bro I don't have any of that and never will.

Going with the 703, but have an idea to fix the imperfections or at least hide them...frame the panels with Cardboard. Salute to you Walt, I've done overly extensive research on and off for the last few years, never quite finding a perfect/cheap DIY solution...until watching this video. You answered every question I had before i got a chance to google it. Thank you Thank you Thank you

Wow, thank you. This is exactly what I'm looking to do. My kids are starting up a garage band in our garage and I need some simple diy sound panels that I can make myself without tools, so this is awesome. You explained everything so well, thank you!

Amazing...never thought simply covering a panel like this!

Thanks for the video! I love the idea of not using wood frames so they are a lot lighter weight for hanging on my ceiling.

Really good video. I'm building a large garage, 30' x 40', with 10' walls. We used a scissor truss to give us a vaulted ceiling. The walls and ceiling are plastered. You would not believe the echo. I'm going to have to do something to address it. This looks like an excellent solution.
