I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building

I will thanks

I have the grounding very well done, overdone I also run a some stuff now it works great .The power I generate is imo far superior to standard pole electric ..As for treatment those panels are only 12" wide the larger one is a bass trap . my speakers are like 2' from side wall and my ceiling is wood 1.5" thick .It gets a lot of slap echo and was just super bright .After I did this treatment the rooms sounds much larger actually .

curious ? my system will be on the 16' wall any distance from rear wall is fine.i am in a tighter space now so I have full range treatment because I am 2.5 feet from side wall .This room I can easily be 3-4ft and the same from rear .If I follow the not in center lead what about reflection issues if I place it on side wall? I can go no more then say 10'-12' up side wall .thats easily a 20' cable run .I am eventually switching to Vac monos in a yr or two and will upgrade my speakers this spring (yes I have some favorites ) but until I consider that as far as I want to run and pay for that length of cable . I know I know ,but i'm comfortable there . Since i'm on concrete 10" thick my main concern in not floor issue but vibration from speaker ,given it is closer in the middle now .

I'm seriously considering treating the floors and do some type of paint on them and just using large throw rugs 

the drywall is already up and insulated behind it 2x6 with redwood batten board . The building is an existing building I have . I could remove the drywall behind the speaker and do this pretty easy I guess ?as for distance I will only know when I know but 3-5ft is doable any direction as my listening are will probably be 3/4 distance .I know it a touchy subject but im a fan of swarm subs I will add two more most likely

This is where my brain is headed for the floor.

The walls are 2x6 contruction already in and insulated and drywalled .The ceiling is also drywalled and insulated , with attic space is open above. It has redwood batten board siding .I was an outbuilding built on my ranch .I is very well constructed .

I can update as I go but I am afraid of boring people with construction pics lol. But I will if everyone is interested its pretty beat up inside now . Luckily my father in law is a drywaller .I am going with all led of course for me but with a lot of recessed lighting and lighting for my framed music goodies I have collected for yrs . reflections or not I have waited too long to not have all my band art in one spot .I will sacrifice that im sure my beat up old ears won't mind but my brain will enjoy the art .the audio will be directly wired from panel to independent breakers for amps etc

The drywall is already up and insulated behind it 2x6 with redwood batten board (The building is rock solid ). The building is an existing building I have . I could remove the drywall behind the speakers and do this pretty easy I guess ?as for distance I will only know when I know but 3-5ft is doable any direction as my listening area will probably be 3/4 distance .I know it a touchy subject but im a fan of swarm subs I will add two more most likely I posted a very crude pic I scribbled from my mind additional subs wherever they work . As I stated before I will put pics on the walls ,I know this is a reflection point but at 53 yrs old, a lifetime musician and mechanic I want it more then the sonic difference lol

Did you see the acid stain company I posted ? I was thinking the black.and you speak of epoxy ?  got a web direction?

I also want to thank everyone for there responses ,I wish I had an unlimited budget . But I am constantly rebuilding and working on my ranch and am breaking ground on a 3500 sq ft workspace for hotrod and motorcycle  fabrication .

I don't drink anymore but was thinking if I put my recliners on magic slides I could sneak them up and have a bar sized pool table in that rear space .scoot them back say 4' more when seriously listening.Problem is really, I spend many of my early yrs working in hifi brick and mortar .I had a fire 14 yrs ago and lost everything including all my cj tubes, magnepans etc including 2500 irreplaceable lps and 5000 cds and many guitars . After that I was  faded, jaded and done . I have slowly started noodling again in the past 5 or 6 yrs ,then a daughter and a son (yes my wife is younger then me lol) so I am looking forward to having that sanctuary, even more then "its too loud etc in my spare bedroom . So I have some constraints and sacrifices to enjoy a daddy space . These including pics on walls a dart board and maybe a pool table . The walls are in and drywalled as I stated earlier 2x6 r32 I believe 10" thick pad . I would consider removing the speaker wall and putting in the rock wool etc ,but am more interested in a good space to relax and enjoy music .I've been a guitarist for 40 yrs and a metal fabricator, hot rod ,bike guy all my life ,so my ears are getting beat up .If any of this make sense? The space will be mine so if I want to hang or paint the the wall furniture etc its all my gig ,my wife is totally cool with it

power is not .I have a very enstensive setup to drive my property ,solar solar solar and back up generator with a lot of battery backup .I am actually switching over to the new lipo batteries not standard lipo there different and I am exploring a wind turbine as I get a lot of wind .I would also use water driven power during winter but California is super demanding on using it

Of course I will employ this method until I find where I need to be . I had a huge improvement in sound and bass in my small room with adding panels. It took the bass from boomy to much tighter and the bright reflections mellowed immensely . I have a home theatre I never post about here , it s in a large space with vaulted ceiling and has huge slap echo .I can incorporate any remains panels and diffusors there it needs quite a but .I will also use large rugs etc to help the situation ,as I stated I am very interested in making it good not great .I cannot fathom not putting my art I have collected on the walls of my man cave audio room .THose days are behind me chasing the ultimate sound ,its hyper addictive and the diminishing returns a 10 fold often . I want a good listening space comfortable for three and maybe a game or two of English darts maybe some pool when not just zoned in .Its a difficult balance ,when I was in my 20s I had a impressive 14x18 arched type roof listening room with two chairs and 2x2 .I have vered away from that world after a lifetime of playing guitar etc. I will certainly play some music in this room too but mostly acoustic or a small tube amp with my electric

I agree on the pool table ,I don't want this thread to go towards bikes although I have built many .I had a 916 for awhile also. ..

noromance 
Im in very rural California redwoods ,visitors are no an everyday occurrence ,so my pool ,dart and pingpong skills will be good lol

Thanks, im two miles from a power pole lol. I am seeing a trend to adapt dc. power to drive electronic lately.I have a lot of control over to power generated here As for the acid If I go this route it will be prepped thoroughly .They also have an etching product to apply first .

Its a free standing building hundred and hundreds of ft from my house and far from a neighbor (acres).I will post updates it will take awhile bit its happening .

its a free standing biking in Northern California ,my father in law had it poured .He did thick pads on all the outbuildings.There is a 6" on my outdoor sauna. it does get chilly here its 20 deg at 10pm tonight . wish it had sub floor heating .Building inspectors terrify us in this area lol

ok I will ,My sauna is a freestanding building all cedar holds 12 friendly people .Harvia wood stove with rocks I do hot or cold . Did one 2o minutes ago lol. my house is timberframe with 8" solis log walls
