I'm looking into sound dampening my room for speaker use which is about 10' X 12' X 8' and would like some tips and advice on effective methods of reducing sound escaping from the room. The use of acoustic panels such as sonex seems to be the best option though costly but I don't know how much wall coverage would be needed to be effective. Do the panels need to be touching or can they be spaced apart some? I'm assuming the wall that the speakers are facing would be the most important for coverage and the walls separating rooms. I know some folks use carpet but I have no idea how this compares to acoustic panels and carpet is really heavy so I'm not sure I want to deal with carpet unless its really effective. Anyway any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
