Changing Density in Traps

Hey Guys quick question.

Constructing my own bass traps this week. I have 2" 703 I was going to DBL up for 4" traps. I read a few post about mixing material with a different density between the 2 traps would help. ( i think steven slate mention this in a thread). I have some "A" Grade carpet padding left over, would that help anything at all? i was just gonna throw it out unless it could be useful. I would think it maybe at least useful in HFREQ in a RFZ panel, but was wondering about the trap sandwich

No it could actually hurt it.

As for as mixing densities, you can but it really is not going to make much if any difference.
