^^^THIS! I'm ALL about that custom, alternative, cheap functionality. Got any pics? Any other suggestions? Do tell!
I did my panels for the cost of glass and burlap, frameless. Works especially well if you have 8 foot ceilings because 2 panels wedge into place without any hardware. http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2009/...-on-the-cheap/

For my acoustic recordings (and for vocals as well) two of these panels can be used to reduce reflection: http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/2011/...adband-panels/

But these days I'm seeing different recommendations from a number of pro acousticians. I hesitate to send folks to Gearslutz but the acoustics section has a lot of info that seems quite solid: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/studi...ing-acoustics/ These guys are saying that for bass management a greater depth of lower density material gives a better result.
