For instance if your wedges were 24x24x34, would that be roughly twice as effective for treating low frequencies as the 17x17x24, or does effectiveness start to roll off at some point. Basically how much better off are you getting 4 wedges a panel instead of 8?
I am not aware of any lab testing of something bigger then 17x17x24 but I can tell you that 17x17x24 works darn well and can say with almost 100% confidence that twice as many 17x17x24 in a room will work more then twice as good, then half of the amount of something twice the size. My head hurts from that last sentence. Did I say that right?
