Will 1ft wide mini bass traps be effective?
-Robb.



Hey Robb,

Some bass traps is better than no bass traps. The easiest method is to use 2'x4' panels with at least 4" of good absorbtion material stradeling the corners, floor to ceiling if possible, but not required. For my rear walls, I'm also considering making some columns, versus superchunks or stradeling using panels. This is to make my wife happy. I will still use the Owens Corning 703 which comes in 2' x 4' x 2" thick sheets. If I cut it down the middle lengthwise, I'll have 1' x 4' x 2" sheets. Then if I stack the sheets up in a prebuilt frame I'll have a 12" wide x 6" or 8" thick column in each corner.

So to answer your question, yes, it will work, depending on how thick you make the material, the thicker the better. Some use acoustical cotton, which works well also.
