Hello... I am in the process of building some 703 enclosures and adding some acoustic foam to the walls, but in the mean time, I was hoping someone could take a look at the current placement of everything in the room and see if something could be moved to make things sound better. We have a crap ton of bass in the room at the moment. I have an Auralex GAMMA coming for the bass rig, but other than that, there is minimal foam on the walls at the moment. Please help. I have a fealing that by moving things around, we could obtain better results. -- Harry

I took your drawign and pointed out the spots were id imagine most of the bass is coming from. The red rings is prolly where most of the bass is happening. Id reccommend bass traps in all corners, and some sort of barrier between the amps that are next to eachother. Also, id reccommend you dampen your drums. If done right it will take away the ringing for a cleaner sound. Aslo is re-arrange your monitors, the out of sync monitors might cause an irregular reverb, and if its in stereo you wont have a very good stereo field how you have it. Fill *edit* i forgot between the drum and amp on the top and drum and bass amp on the left, another likely spot.
