Thanks glenn thumbsup

Still, do you think perhaps i messed up and should have used less dense material for the side reflection panels? The stuff i have is linked here and is quite dense (you can't easily condense/crush it): Wickes *–*Insulation*–*Constructional Insulation*–*Constructional Insulation*–*Heavy Density Insulation - it is not the 45kg per m3 type.

The annoying thing is that it's really easy to work with, and i can easily go and buy cheap little $5 20"'x20" frames and dot them around the room (which was my original plan to use up the left over insulation, of which there is quite a lot). However if this is too dense a material and is better suited for bass trapping, perhaps that is a bad idea?

Also i should add that the panels that i built for the side reflection points also have the cardboard 'backs' of the frames on, holding the insulation in place.

When i have some cash, i will definitely get 3 x 242 panels (£150), and have them either side and above. Then perhaps move these elsewhere around the/a future room.

Also, does anyone have any tips for mounting a trap on the ceiling with the minimum of fuss?
