I'm keeping this question to bass traps only for now. I've been searching a lot and this site is awesome.

I purchased Owens Corning 703 Rigid Fiberglass Board, 4 inch, Case of 3 yesterday (all I could afford). But, I also have 4 of these...


I guess I can only make 3 panels from the OC703. I was kind of looking for some advice on the placement of both types of traps... One of my corners is quite small... Any ideas?


^ That is a bad image. All the windows are blacked out now and the couch is moved closer to the screen

Here is a site that sells accessories to dress the OC 703 you purchased.

Cool thanks ^ what about the other type of trap? Would this be OK to use all for on the rear left corner (all 4)? They would be hidden by a long curtain/drape that is going to cover the entire back part of the room. Will these types of traps work well? Later on I will buy more OC 703 but just wondering if these will work for now http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...rap_s799-1.jpg

While they're certainly better than an empty corner, they're really not very effective bass traps. Probably the best place for them is at the wall/ceiling corner in the front or back of the room. Another place you might want to try is up at the ceiling in the vertical corners in the front of the room, then use the 4" 703 traps in the rear of the room.
