Aye, cynical I am

Thanks for the link there, it was an interesting read. However, you state that panels don't really have an impact on the lower octaves, whereas Ethan Winer's link, whose post has dissappeared for some reason, shows how a fair covering of panels does indeed have an impact on the very lowest octaves. I can't say how the figures translate into audible differences, but I know that in my case the sound has become much more peasurable. Whether this is the result of having helped only the mids, or the lower bass regions as well, I can't really tell.

This is maybe something that you could help me out with. Are my chunk style corner traps actually doing some 'serious' trapping? The dimensions again are 2' by 2' by 1.66', in a triangular form. Now, my next question is similar I think to another one in in of the other recent bass trap threads. That is, would having capped the ends and leaving the centres hollow made them more effective? Ethan Winer denies that this would be the case, saying that using rockwool type material as the barrier automatically makes the trap absorbative in principal, rather than pressured. I've read another poster claim that he prefers his tube traps filled. Of course, I can't find that specific post to say whether I remembered it correctly. As ever, I could be wrong about this or that.

Cheers
