the room is the most important thing along with speaker placement. No doubt the inconvenient truth |

I have put up two floor to ceiling homemade traps with 6 inches of rockwool in the front corners. I haven't done any remeasuring but my ears tell me it has helped. I replaced 2, 4 foot panels I made out of 3 inch of rockwool. I'm putting these along the floor/front wall boundary. My question is, any guess if it will be better to double up into 1 panel, thus increasing thickness to 6 inches, or leave the two panels separate, with 3 inches each?

Of course more coverage with denser and thicker panels will virtually always win. -m |

Yeah, all I'm saying is this room doubles as a movie/social room, with posters on the wall, etc, and I want to be a little judicious about how much coverage I get. But ceiling and corner panels seem not too obtrusive, so I have more flexibility. I've definitely come to believe after a couple of years of dabbling, upgrading equipment, etc, that the room is the most important thing along with speaker placement. No doubt Why not turn the Artwork / Posters / memorabilia into traps? As they will be bass traps (too reflective as first reflection points) they need to be thicker - (4"++) but they can and do work nicely, if you have enough   |

What a great idea! Why not turn the Artwork / Posters / memorabilia into traps? As they will be bass traps (too reflective as first reflection points) they need to be thicker - (4"++) but they can and do work nicely, if you have enough |
