Bass traps need to be no less then 4" deep when straddling corners. If you can I would make them 6" and or fill the corner.

Ok well heres something else that I'm not 100% is the best way around this. This guy from ebay quoted me 16 of these bass traps for 200$ heres the link.

Plus I'm not sure what you mean by fill the corner? Are you saying to cover it completely?
