Roxul SoundNSafe 3" or 6" for basstrap and broadband

[dieselb0y]

Hello all

Now my superchunk corners finish .... I'd like to use Roxul Sound n Safe panel for basstrap and broadband

The soundnsafe is 3" thick with 2.5 pcf density
0.52 0.96 1.18 1.07 1.05 1.05 1.05

If I only use one 3'' panel per trap ... I'll be making broadband trap ....Is it right?

If I double the panel per trap, sooo 6'' thick .... will it make the trap efficient for basstraping? .... What about the GAP size?

thanks

Lots of misconceptions going on there.

1. 4" is THE MINIMUM for absorbers doing anything resembling full range and first reflection control.

2. 6" is great to use for all.

3. With SafenSound there is no advantage to having a gap at 6". Fill the space.

With the price of Safe N Sound compared to 703, it is cheap to do it right!

Loaded up my room in the walls and ceiling with roxul earlier this year and could not be happier. This stuff works!

I'll try to go with 3'' of SoundNSafe with a 3¨GAP.

you'll be much better off if you can do 6" of SAS than 3" with a gap. The more the better. Most of mine is minimum 6" thick and I believe that has made all the difference.

Why? I wrote to you that the right way is to fill the space.

Is the trap with 6'' thickness with no GAP easily win over a 3'' trap with 3'' GAP? Is there a big difference?

No gap with Safe N Sound is better. You have questioning this since my first post, which detailed that. You may do what you want.

Yes. The difference between mostly useless, and very useful.
