Sockets on acoustic wall panel

I didn't describe that well.

I measured the distance from the surface of the board to the metal backbox and marked that distance on the side of the PB box then cut off at that mark, removing the back of the PB box and creating a sleeve

Ah got it!
If the panels are 21mm, would t I end up cutting some of the lug on the PB box too? In my situation, do you think the galvanised extension boxes would work better?
 
How did you deal with that socket? Looks great
Just fitted a normal back box and used longer screws, I used a piece of trunking lid and sprayed it black and pinned it top and bottom....if you dont you can touch the terminals.

But I like Sunrays way better, I'll do that next time.

And you need to position the PB box so that the lugs can tighten on to a slat? And therefore need to cut the foam from behind the slats where the lugs will tighten on to?

Hope you follow my poor explanation here.

In my case the wall was not very flat so glueing the board in place meant the existing back box became crooked

or/and the box was set badly so the box I cut was certainly not parallel

I simply used the long screws which had already been fitted
