Default Simple Home Theater / Custom Acoustic Panels

Hello, I know we all love some to see some pictures of Homemade media room.
So see below and attached, this is my little place.
It's an above the garage space, about 14x16. It took me about 2 years to finish it. I built my own media server and HTPC.
List of my gears:
Sony VPL-HW40ES / Silver Ticket 110"
Pioneer SC-97
Klipsch RP-450C / 2x RP-280F / 2x R-5650-S II / 2x F-30 / 2x CDT5800 II
Sub: Outlaw Ultra-X12
HTPC Windows 7 and Kodi (with custom Phenomenal skin) / Home Server for Media
--- --- ---
I also build custom acoustic panel as a hobby.
Custom print made with acoustic transparent fabric, wood frame, inside the frame it's a rigid mineral wool board 2" thick for best sound control.

Fabric wrapped acoustic panels are a great solution for sound absorption and noise control with "Style".
:-)

See below some of my work on Poster/Acoustic Panels.

Did you say you created your acoustic panels yourself ?

Yes i did and i also do it based on request. They do take 3 to 4 hours per panel counting the design editing and build.

I have done a few set of panels and shipped in the US. So far so good :-)

Bravo on the system and the panels.

Now let's take it from simple to outstanding and upgrade the subwoofers to pair better with the Klipschs.

Leave it to our resident Basshead to come up with that post ..................... .................

........... If anything, I can see fortifying the system with a second Outlaw for twice the fun

Thanks!! I am always lookin for suggestions or advices.
Concerning the sub, I have the impression that Klipsch sub are not as recognized as other sub. When I switched from my Klipsch 10inch to the Outlaw it was a hell of a difference.
Now moving forward I dont think my room is big enough for 2 subs. It already checks a lot. My wife even asked me if I installed buttkicker... when it was just the sub.

For the panels I am debating with myself for the next design. Either dark knight or the new golden skull from pirate of the Caribbean.

Now if someone would like to have some panels made, feel free to contact me.
Usually the panels take between 2 to 3 weeks and are around $100 to $150 per panels. Any design as long as I can find or make a good resolution pic.

Thank you all for your comments, it seems to be a great community !

I was not thinking of a Klipsch subwoofer. I was thinking of one of the better know ID (Internet Direct) subs from the likes of SVS, HSU, or PSA.

I believe they are still Internet Direct Company, and they have pretty good products, they just released a 13inch sub THX certified.
I also think they are the underdog of the sub, but they deliver great products. They also don't advertise like SVS or other.

Yes .................... They still are an ID company and are the quiet underdog to the Emotiva's and Oppo's of the world
