If you are in a situation with a partner who doesn't want you to put permanent bass traps in the ceiling corners of your listening room, here's something that worked well for me:
I bought tiny beige hooks (Scotch) that adhere to the ceiling and hold up to 8 ounces. After their install (easy) about 5 inches from the corners, I created DIY bass traps out of 1 inch foam and thin packing-blanket material wrapped around it, all enclosed in the type of mesh bag you might see oranges sold in at the grocery store. (I bought mine as sets of three actually sold at the grocery store.) When completed, each trap was about 9 X 12 inches, light, and easily hung on the tiny hooks (the mesh allows for easy hookage). Just used a stepladder to put up and take down. Hint: Cut your foam about 14 X 12 and bend it into the mesh bags, creating a slightly convex shape for your trap. Place the trap so the convex side faces out.
Works well, even with a powerful amp, Spendor SP1/2e speakers, AND REL subwoofer in a listening room that is only 11 X 12 feet!
