There's no sag, but the edges are only firm in the corners because of the plastic inserts.
Oh yeah, get a dark color if you plan on moving them around. My tan 2inchers get dirty really easily. |
You bet. Though Rockwool is a good acoustic medium, it is a little crumbly and does not yield
as sharp of a look as mineral fiber. That is one of the reasons we recommend using Owens Corning 703 (besides it's slightly superior performance over 705 at lower frequencies).
If you want to really customize your own traps (by using a fabric you personally really dig), grab up some of the Acoustic Frames instead. These are really sharp and offer a super clean, "framed" look to anything you want to put in them, including rock wool.
