    Here's a link to a thread where I got tons of help from Charlie Fisher, Don Dalton and Tracy @ Recovery Room on those filler panels in the corners.

    Of course, then Mike52 mentioned speaker pods, so I back tracked a bit and started modifying what I thought were finished panels
    I bought a pair of 6" Kenwood speakers from Crutchfield - had it in mind to just buy speakers, but they had a great deal on a combo Receiver/Speaker package that gave me the two speakers for $10 over the Receiver cost so I sprung for the package
    I cut a couple of rings from some 1" particle board (MDF would have been better), marked the panels and cut holes to fit in stages, leaving support top and bottom to inset the sides, but leave the rings protruding top and bottom. A test fit of the first ring, then glassed it in with a bit of cloth and resin. There's a shot of the back side, too, to show how the flat rings fit into the convex panels, which was another learning curve for an old dog!!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
