soffit mount design

Im confused on splayed walls. I have parallel walls, floors on all 6 sides. with the exception of the 2- 45 degree walls in the rear of the room.

There should not be any 45° walls in the rear of the room, as that would create acoustic issues with reflections getting back to your ears too soon, or too loud. The rear corners of the room should be used for bass traps, as that's the best place to put them. If you could provide a sketch of the existing room as it is right now, before you do anything to it, then that would help to understand your situation better. The best way to do that is with the "SketchUp" program, from Google. And the best part of this is the price: it is FREE! :) Just download it from Google, run through a few of the tutorials on how to use it, and put together a sketch. About spaying walls: The room should be narrower at the front, wider at the back. The side walls should be splayed at least 12° total (6° on each side). If that would make the room too small at the front, then you can just splay the front half of each side wall, and leave the back half flat. The ceiling should also be angled by at least 12°, and once again it is lower at the front, higher at the back, and you can just angle half of it (the front half) to avoid eating up too much room height. - Stuart -
