Is this your question?: Which is better? 100mm (4" thick) dense insulation straddling corners OR 2' x 2' solid fluffy (square footprint) "soffits"? I think the Fluffy wins. The fluffy will win even better if you increase the volume!

It's hard for me to say with high precision but, from what I can tell, even my super chunks - which are basically 'half-soffits' are straight up bass assassins. Soffits will positively annihilate large swaths of ringing.
I'm not sure if you're into PC building but I recently bought a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler. This thing is extra big. Could I have gotten by with a smaller model? Probably but sometimes size matters. Just like heat radiation, large absorbers cannot be topped by smaller ones unless there's more of them.
Again, it isn't density as such that matters but Gas Flow Resistivity. I encourage you to trust in the available materials and keep your plan simple. Whatever is available will more than likely work fine. Fluffy from a hardware store or rigid from a reputable supplier are pretty much all you need and the rest is just details.

Thanks Rock and Hexspa for the replies! And yes Rock, that's exactly the question I have - which will be more effective in absorbing low end. Sounds like Hexspa thinks the soffits are the go.
