Not really, TP, but if you want cheap bass traps

You simply cannot beat Jon Risch's quick and dirty recipe. In fact, rather than go to the trouble of even covering the bags of proper density fiberglass as JR suggests, I just hid the bags behind chairs and under tables in the corners. Works like a charm at about $11/bag these days. I use only 2 of them as I can't hide any more where my wife won't see, but this does work reasonably well.

Don't be tempted to cover them with the carpet. JR says that you need a sonically "transparent" covering in the LF, which means something along the lines of burlap, not carpet. Carpet is too tight a weave. On its own it won't do all that much for bass trapping anyway.
