Yep, I built all my panels myself, using ceiling and wall FRZ's (first reflection zone) panels, and corner bass traps from ceiling to floor.

I just wanted to say I received my panels from both ATS Acoustics and some from GIK Acoustics.
The panels from GIK are more expensive but much better quality. they make them with a "dead zone" in the back not just a wood panel like ATS.You can also order ATS without the wood backing (open backed) but are not available in 2"panels.
Also the GIK's are made with Owens Corning 703 and not with mineral wool like ATS and feel way more absorbent.
I will be sticking with GIK for the rest of my panels, much better product IMO.

I've seen (and heard) Sirquack's theater setup. The panels are nice and the sound he has is really great!

No problem bud, I found I didn't have to turn it up as load also in testings. The tests were when the "ol lady" came running in....."turn that down"
