Thanks again Glenn. Appreciate it.
No the diffusors aren't for the bass frequencies. But if you check the other pics maybe you can see that I've already built a 45cm/18" thick wall. Now I'm gonna mount the diffusors as a surface on that wall. They are to be placed with a certain (30mm) gap between eachother. That measurement is calculated for my room and the center of my bass problem frequency (edit: The Helmholzt resonator was designed to be pretty broadband and take care of everything below 100Hz). So I believe the plan is that the diffusors will scatter 800Hz and up (not a problem in those frequencies before, but since I was going to build a new wall anyway, I guess this is the optimal surface to avoid standing waves) and then the freq's below 800 will be trapped in the wall. I'll let you know how it works, hopefully later tonight as I'm quite eager to find out myself
