I had my panels out today so I put them on the bathroom scales. 37lbs total. I used two 2'x4' sheets of 1/4" and two 2'x4' sheets of 1/2" MDF. Each sheet runs about $5. The carpet is black speaker box carpet from Crutchfield for about $35. (one roll)
Cardboard templets are your friend!!! I had some 1/4" cardboard from a recent purchase, so I was able to mimic the thickness of the panels I would be using easily. Check fitment often during the build, cut large, then sand to fit tight. (I built mine using nothing but cordless jigsaw and an orbital sander)
