Room Setup / Bass Trap Help

The stacked triangle approach works well, but coverage area with bass traps is more important. If you have just enough rockwool to do the stacked triangle approach in 2 corners, you are probably better off to use that same amount of rockwool to make as many 4" thick panels as possible and put them in as many corners as you can, including wall/ceiling corners.

Thanks for the response!
What denistiy would be better - the RW 3 or RW 5? The semi regid vs rigid, I can't put too many traps up due to other people / space.

Agreed with JWL.

Either should work fine.

Thanks alot guys, will go for building 2 supechunk traps and about 4 5" thick bass traps too, (the pack comes in 5" - ideally should be 4" but should be fine?)

Also moved my setup back to the 38% idea that Ethan posted on his site - and an instantly better sound - more low end coming through, still a bit muddy and messy but a big improvement for my trusty HS80s!
Also great article Glenn, cheers!
