Besides that, I think a wood reflection sounds a bit more 'natural' as opposed to 5/8" sheet rock, or brick.

Having more 703/705 would allow a deeper range of frequency absorption, but still, even this is minimal.

A few others here will tell you that besides a few inches of 703/705, an equally important concept is to have an air space behind the trap, which allows for the optiminum absorption from the panel. The space can be adjusted so that trouble freqs are attentuated to your liking or preference.

Actually myself and few other people told Dim that the way he built those corner traps was not correct. He should have not had any kind of wood fronts on them. Now mind you this is Dim, so he is going to go against the grain , but we all love him..
