4" or thicker broad band bass traps in as many corners as possible. Hit the back wall also with 6" traps. See the following for layout.

I thought Of building a back floor to wall corner trap.
Eks:
Corners 60 cm front 81Face Width (at a 45 degree Angel) and width 190 cm.
10 cm airgap and then rockwool cut so it has a 45 degree Angel.
all closed air tight.

I`m thinking of making a "corner trap" (backwall trap) that is going on the floor horizontally against my back wall on the floor.
And as I have a 70- 80Hz problem this is the size i`m thinking of
In Norway RockWool has special sound fiberglass that I will use cut in 45-degree angle to each side wall!

My design thought:
Corner Bass Traps (backwall trap) Assuming the panel is at a 45-degree angle to each side wall
Face Width 48"= 121.92 cm Thickness 1/8"= 4 mm =80Hz
Sides 23.62in
Air gap from the front panel 3.93in before the rockwool.
All air tight/Sealed!

Looking something like this:


Will this work or do I need other meassurments?

I would just use fabric for the face. No need for it to be air tight.

Would u then recommend that the rockwool goes all the way to the front no gap as designed now?
Will it then absorbed a broader freq. spec or still be most effective at 70-80hz?

Sure making them thicker is never a bad thing and YES it will be very effective at 70 to 80hz
