Nice DYI dude! ... You may want to think about putting some FRK on the fronts. This will help with a little more low end and also keep the room from going "DEAD" on the high end.

for this statement to be correct, your are implying that a thin strip of aluminium will somehow increase low end absorption and decrease high end absorption.

what happens..... does the soft insulation allow the metal face to deflect low end, thus absorbing it in the process, but not do this at the high end?

to be honest i'm not convinced about this whole claim yet....
