A change in plans

[ste20man]

Hi.

I am building my bass traps but have a fundamental question to ask as regards the design.

I'm in a small bedroom setup and have just comprehended how much treatment I am about to build into the room. And how much space that will take off of me.

It's going to be 9 panels 2' X 4' 100mm thick Rockwool RW3. In an 11 by 11' room.

This is a huge amount especially as I'm going to install 2 super chunks in the corners that are available to me plus 2 triangle corner traps.

The question I have is this and it regards the room space that is about to be taken up. Given I am building these traps as shown here:

Can I use their design but somewhat twist it to have a less protruding bass trap?

On page 12 can I take the Rockwool and lift it behind and into the frame?

Can the rockwool go inside of the traps frame with me then wrapping the good cloth around the back as it were?

By sinking the rockwool 50mm into the frame, would this have any negative side effects to its efficiency?

I'd appreciate your thoughts. Cheers, Ste.

The space makes them more efficient. It's better to have them a couple inches off the wall than right up against it. You won't even notice that little bit of space.

if it's an 11x11 square room you are going to need all those bass traps

I wouldn't put them in the frame
