yes, but a few things to be aware of

I have built traps using the Teres recipe below and learned a few things in the process. First of all, they work, absolutely. Read the Teres site and Jon Risch's pages and you will have no trouble putting some together

If you are going the DIY route you can perhaps afford more of them, which is good. Stacking two 1 meter sections to reach (nearly) floor to ceiling rather than only one section to half height made a dramatic difference in the front corners of my room.

Consider a bigger diameter though. I have a suspicion that 12" may not be as effective as a bigger tube. The density of the fiberglass matters a lot, so you may need to experiment (if possible). One way to do that is to stuff half your tubes with fiberglass batts and leave the other half empty. That way you get a broader spectrum of absorption.

Caution: these are all amateur theories, YMMV!
