bass traps for 12 corners

I read that bass traps for 12 corners helps. I guess 4 corner bass traps from floor to ceiling are important. I will first build them.

What is next important bass traps? I am thinking to do from left to right front wall and back wall. Does it sound good?

If I do front and back wall bass traps, is it better to do triangle one like how people do for corner? If it is ok to stack them, how many and orientation is optimal. Thanks for your help.

Back Wall is important. Rectangular Traps are bigger than Triangles, thus better at lower frequencies.

Correct. In order to absorb low frequencies, you need mass and volume. However, the density is also important as materials with a (too) high density are likely to refelect sound and sometimes even the low frequencies. For example, a thick concrete wall will reflect sound instead of absorbing it.

Thanks for the reply. How may of 12x24x2 inch oc c703 that are recommended? Basically, I will put this between corner to corner , floor to ceiling super chunk bass traps at the front and back. I guess it should be like stage with two poles on the side. Trying to find how many to put as layer.

Did anybody have photos or thread that I can look to find how the middle bass trap at front or back wall can be constructed?
