Can you overdamp the front wall?


I have the front wall heavily covered with perdue acoustics foam. My question is: is it possible to overdamp the front wall? I have 3 2x2 squares on that wall behind the speakers. Is that too much absorption?

Hi:
Good points all around.

Tom has recommended Alton Everest's "Sound Studio Construction on a Budget" and Everest's "Master Handbook". Danner has mentioned his recording studio and his listening room.

Should a recording room and a listening room be approached in the same manner? What have you guys found to be the fundamental differences and/or similarities, if any?

Also the CARA 2.1 PLUS ($50), that Rives mentions, is excellent. The CARA test disk is excellent too at around $20. I haven't had the chance to demo much of the other room software around but, together, IMHO it is hard to figure a better way to spend 70 bucks on audio. It also got an excellent review from AudioXpress Magazine recently (August 2002)

Thanks in advance.

I remain,
