Need Advice On Placing Absorption Panel On Ceiling

I plan to experiment by placing 2 pieces of 2" thick absorption wedge panels on the ceiling. I would be grateful if anyone could advise beforehand on the recommended arrangement of the panels. This is what I have in mind :-

If some diffusion is required at later stage, I will add thin long strips of wood in between the wedge as proposed by Ethan Winer.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks for all responses. I will most likely give it a go.

French_fries, may I know if your Echobuster panels are purely absorption, or a mix of absorption and diffusion?

Thanks in advance.

I found that RotoFast connector/mounts made all mountings quick and secure, even on the ceiling.

Interesting post Frenchfries.I commend your ambition and attention to detail.Glad to hear it was a success.Thats the right way to do the job.I set-up a Bakers scaffold which helped immeasureably[sp],but I am glad if I dont have to work on the ceiling again though some rooms require it for optimum sound,cheers,Bob

I have a series of RPG absorber/diffusor panels on the ceiling. I found them to be very effective. Before I put them up, I had constant problems with edginess. Placing absorbers on the sidewalls at the reflection points did not do enough.The ceiling turned out to be the problem. You can see a photo of my room on my system page.
