    Bass trapping a 4x6x7.5 room

    Sign in to disable this ad
    Hi all this is my first post here. I'm trapping a 4x6x7.5 room. I'm pretty much straddling all corners with 703 in 4" thick panels. I did not opt for frk bc its a small room.. I straddled the ceiling to side wall junctions with full 24x48x4 panels leaving a 1' or so air gap behind the panels in the corner space. Am I good to go with my 703 all over? Thanks guys

    To tame the resonant frequencies in a space that small, IME, nothing short of removing *all* the drywall and filling *all* the stud space with 703 is even going to make a dent.

    It won't sound "good" by any stretch, but hopefully it won't be openly resonating in the baritone range...

    Is this space for recording? How does it sound?

    You could fill behind the traps with fluffy insulation for some extra sub bass absorption but it all really depends on the purpose of the room. Obviously, you won't have any accuracy sub 100 Hz, but you might at 200 and above. How many panels have you made so far exactly?
