Corner trap installation questions

[amistybleu]

Firstly I would like to say that this post comes after many hours of reading and research, I have posted a diagragm of the room involved, FYI ceiling height is 7'6".

I have decided to use the corner traps in this sticky http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4581

from my reading it seems to me that all corners of the room should be represented floor to ceiling and I will be using double thickness OC 703

Some confusing areas I have encountered are:

Q: should the traps be sealed at the perimeter for best best LF absorption (dont have the space to move them out into the room)

Q: Being that they will be right in the corner is the air space better or should I put some more insulation behind the traps regarding LF absorption.

Q: will I have problems with mids/highs being sucked out of the room with these traps.

Respectfully,

It depends on the type of trap. If you're just putting up some 703 then no seal is neccessary.

Q: Being that they will be right in the corner is the air space better or should I put some more insulation behind the traps regarding LF absorption.

If you can put more 703 back there then it can't hurt.

Q: will I have problems with mids/highs being sucked out of the room with these traps.

Not with such minimal coverage. If anything you will probably want to put at more 2'x4' panels up along the long wall every few feet to knock things down a little more. Some absorption above the drums would be good too considering how low your ceilings are.
