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.

I scoured the NET for acoustic panels with imagery like this and could find none.

There is some very cool imagery, but all on canvas.

Thanks @DangeRuss for pointing me here.

I am building my own panels, but how do you get that printed on to acoustically transparent material(also without messing up the "transparency")?

I use Spoonflower and/or myfabricdesigns, g00gle them. They have a large selection of materials and based on tests done by multiple users, performance knit, basic comb cotton, Kona cotton are good for this type of printing.
You need to edit, size your image then print using one of the above printer.

Isn't an image like that copyrighted? Can I just find any cool image I want online and upload it?

Dunno the detail for copyright.
I know a lot of people doing that for personal use.
You will find individual creation, custom made picture using movie theme, sport, music, landscape, art, characters, spaceship, textless movie posters, poster made out of movie screenshot...

Personally I want to do a Hubble picture next...

For my next theater, I need a bigger space, because infinity that finishes after 10ft is too small. I though "space" was infinity ?
