If i wanted to do some weird shape bass traps I would need to use metal frames of some type, something I could bend. Would it change the sound compare to a wood frame?
thanks

No, I like metal frames, especially when they are well-cut and powdercoated with a quality finish. :-) If the metal has holes in it, thus allowing air/sound to touch the absorbent material inside, even better.
