I have a question regarding using the side of the owens corning with the foil wrapper on one side or using the 703 with the bare board facing out.

If I am going to be using 3 panels equalling 6" in each of the corners going up to the ceiling to act as bass traps (front floor to ceiling is 8ft equaling 6 total panels per corner and back 12ft equaling 9 panels per corner).

On top of that....

2" panels in my first reflection points (1 on each side wall, 2 on ceiling above mix position, 1 each on wall behind monitors and a 4-6 panels to cover the bare back wall......

My question is this..

With all of this absorption in the room, to not make the room too dead sounding should I flip some of the panels so the foil is facing out to reflect some highs?? I read this in earlier replies but I'm not sure WHICH of the panels I should flip so foil faces out?

My current guess would be to only flip the first panel of each of the bass traps so that the side facing out in the room is the foil side and leave the first reflection point traps with bare panel facing out or flipping all of the bass trap panels foil side out?? I'd like to get some advice before I put the panels in their frames.

Thanks everyone and keep up the awesome community of greatness.
