In another forum, one contributor suggested that one good way to flatten out the response of my 13.5' X 13.5' room would be to line the walls and ceiling with Owens-Corning 703. How much truth is there to this? It seems overly-simplistic to me.
I tried doing a search on this question, but I couldn't think of a good one. I couldn't just type in a search on Owens-Corning 703, because every other thread is about Owens-Corning 703  .

You have a good question, and depending on the level of depth you want:
1. Yes it will help. Don't use thin stuff, it will only absorb the highs and leave the lows muddy.
2. Yes it will help, but things like the two dimensions being the same will cause major problems. Read Ethan's FAQ, especially the part on absorption and bass traps.
3. Yes it will help, but proper designing can make a huge in difference from "a big improvement" to "wow, what a fantastic improvement!" If you want some ideas and direction for doing this, start with reading Ethan's FAQ, after absorbing the information, read the threads "Empty Room From Scratch" "Empty Room Almost There" and "70x absorption". The several links on the the threads will give you even more detail and examples.
The several threads by Dan C provide guidance on one persons experience going through this, right down to some photographs of frames being made.
Good luck and enjoy!
