I haven't put the traps together yet so I don't have any before and after numbers, but I'm expecting slightly deeper bass trapping with this stuff.
I am not going to say this stuff will not work but if it does not have test numbers then you really don't know what you are buying.
You may want to stick with either mineral wool or oc products.
