DIY Absorbers. How thick?

I have already built corner bass traps (chunks). Now I have to fix the first order reflections and dampen the room a bit more. Is 2" thick enough for the panels?

The short answer is YES. If can afford it and have the space then also using 4" is pretty nice. The 4" will give you a little more bass control, which is always welcome.

Glenn is right, 2" will work for side absorbers. For a bit more absorption in the low end, space the 2" panels 2" from the wall. That will give performance closer to a 4" panel mounted directly on the wall.
