I need one of these;

My largest amp is an AC/30 so it needs to be able to accommodate at least that size. The booths in the picture are really heavy.
So Im thinking of building one and framing it out of PVC instead of 2x4 and using 4" Owens. I would also use PVC to make feet instead of using casters so I could make them closer to the ground.

Similar to this but double the frame for the 4" insulation;

Thoughts?

Thanks.

If you end up building your own enclosure - consider making it a Faraday cage, too:

With the RF spectrum the way it is now, it can only help.

You could build 5 four foot by three foot baffles, frame them out in 1x5 and fill them with rigid fiberglass.  Cover the faces of the frames in fabric (something durable and not reflective at high frequencies) and then put another frame of 1x5 around the outside to hide the glue or staples holding the fabric on.

With five panels you can build a dog house like Terry's, and you can just put the panels against the wall when not in use.  Even slicker would be to make one side masonite or luan under the fabric and make them wall mountable.  Then you can have a slightly resonant bass trap or a very absorbent panel which you can use to change your room's acoustics.

Just thinking...

Hmm, I will have to go material(cloth) shopping, any suggestions?
I will be using the Owens 703 so I need something that will keep the nasty fiberglass in.

Thanks.

Why not use some greener, healthier and just as efficient (if not more) products like cellulose based bats or recycled cotton?

I used the cotton throughout my studio, its great, however it is not available here and the Owens stuff is. Trust me I would much rather use the cotton but seeing as I will not need much it will not be worth importing a small quantity.

Thanks.
