| GOSH GOLLY!!! Those things are massive! Is the board 3/4 or 1 inch?? The wood looks really thick! They would probably survive a tornado! Good job, and nice craftmanship.... |

| Gear maniac | Excellent thread! Conny if you don't mind could you also post pictures showing how these traps are mounted onto the walls? I get how the frame is made but still don't know how you would keep them a couple of inches away from the wall..Thanks! |

I have not yet decided how and were to mont/place them. Right now they are floor standing. I really dont want to make to many holes in my wall since I have the studio in my apartment right now. Maby I'll make some stands for them instead. But if I was mounting them on the wall I would probably "hang" them on ordinary shelf consoles. Just make sure the consoles are long enough so you can space the traps out from the wall. If the lower part of the trap tends to tilt in, just put some distances there. /Cojo | |

| This is the strips that's gonna cover up the staples that's holding the fabric in the front of the traps. |

Why do the staples need to be covered? I'm guessing its for freq response reasons more than aesthetic, but I'd love to know exactly what effect they would actually have on the sound. B | |

| Hey cojo... i sugest going up to 300hz.... ( many pros sweep up to 300hz ) for bass traping testing... and also.. dont go so low as 20hz... unless you have a fancy monitoring system that goes that low.... most monitors... only go as low as 60hz to 40 on the best of the cases... to say some... Mr. Bob Katz have a pair of Lipinkis L707 monitors but with Subs to go to 20hz.... Even the Lipinkis dont go so low alone .. and cost 3000+ each... Greets Rolo. |

| And finally! Here they are, ready to be brought to my studio space. It took about 4 days for me to build them, but that includes buying all the material as well. I think it probably possible to build them in two days if you plan your work better. |

| Both of your guys traps look awesome! Makes me want to break out the dusty power tools..... But, at Glenns prices, plus my laziness and desire to keep all my fingers, I probably wont...... ![]() |
