Corner-Cube Bass Trap Idea... What do you think?

I have been trying to figure out the best, most aesthetically pleasing way to design/place a trap in the all-important Tri-Corners. From what I gather, more bass sound focuses in the wall/wall/floor and wall/wall/ceiling corners than any other corners in a room.

Here is something I came up with using little pieces of paper, some tape, and some spare time.



The Cube Trap would be a 2'x2'x2' Cube made by stacking 2'x2' fiberglass squares on top of each other.

Of course, I haven't really received a definitive answer as to whether the Tri-Corners focus more bass (and thus, have more potential bass trapping rewards) than any other corners.

Ethan/James/Glenn, would a room benefit from having one of these Cube Traps placed Specifically in the Tri-Corners versus any other location? Or are the Tri-Corners no more bass-focusing than any other corner?

Either way- At least this Cube Trap solves an aesthetic problem in that it allows all three corner traps to meet consistently.
