Finally, A Space for Studio! Advice appreciated!

Greetings Sluts. I'm really excited to say that I've finally got a space to set up as a studio. Its a finished bunkie in the backyard of my new house. Anyways, its kind of small however I think it'll work until I have the $$ to expand. After weeks of perusing these threads and the various sites recommended here (Thanks GIK!) I've come up with a setup for the room with bass traps I plan on building. The room is 10x15 with 9' celings. Heres the mock up I've done. The biggest problem I can see so far is there is a corner I cannot put traps in because of the door but I'm not sure what the alternative is. I've got plans for about 20 traps. The wall you cannot see has an identical window and will have the same trap layout. Let me know if I'm on the right track! appreciate it.

Everything looks pretty good to me. Can't see the back wall but you want THICK absorption back there (6" or thicker). Best of luck and great to hear we could be of some help.

Hey Thanks so much! That 2nd photo is the back wall. So far I was planning on making all the traps 4" thick 2" off the wall with 703. I will do the two on the back wall 6" thick instead with maybe 2" thick on the side wall reflection traps. I have also been debating on doing the corner traps filled to the wall with the less rigid roxul safe and sound but at least I'd be able to fill all the space behind instead of panels just stradling the corners. It depends on how much I can get the 703 for. I got a quote for $.95 per square foot which I thought was pretty low and am suspicious they're giving me the wrong info...
