bass/sound traps

Wait... You mean... You don't know why cloth dampens sound and hard wood doesn't?

>>1127799
The cloth allows sound to pass into the insulating material inside (rockwool, fiberglass etc) to be absorbed while presenting a visual barrier. Wood will just reflect the sound back like a wall.

>>1127803
... yes. It would be great to get an explanation please. If it was up to me I would follow the guides. I present them with this and they get a hard-on for covering it with plywood.

>>1127805
Thank you, I hope they listen.

It'll be the prettiest bass trap that doesn't work.

Boost it off the ground on feet and put a wear layer on the top of it and it'll be completely impervious to anything short of a shitheel throwing a beer across the room.

reason for the 'bass traps'?

while the superchunk seems straight forward, it's possible that the issues you may have may not even be in the corner AND the chunk isn't any more effective than an air gap.

I lost my info due to a SSD that didn't want to recognize anymore but look into this multi-layer absorber
(http://www.acousticmodelling.com) and measurements for the materials you'll be working with.

I built two subs and set them diagonally to get better room response, absorbers to target my rooms ringing, 40-50Hz, requires like 10ft wide superchunks to absorb that low last time I looked into it.

Because plywood will make it not work.

so this one company publishes their test results for their broadband absorbers&bass traps, this product
http://www.gikacoustics.com/product/gik-acoustics-tri-trap/

is what you're looking to make right? it's only targeting between 80-250Hz.
