Hello there everyone, I was wondering how I should mount the fiberglass panels I will be making. I am getting 2 inch thick 2X4 panels, which I will be doubling up to make 2'X4'X4" panels. I will be making about 20 of these panels, 4 for corners between walls, another 6-8 for ceiling/wall corners, 4 for the ceiling, and the rest for the walls. Where possible I will space them out from the surface they will be mounted on to improve their effectiveness at low frequencys. I would prefer to not have a wood frame around them if possible, so if I don't frame them, how should I mount them (in the corners, on the walls, and on the ceiling), and if I plan on spacing them from the walls (4 inches) is there a good method for doing that? I know next to nothing about construction, so a simple solution would be best. If someone has pictures that would be even better.
