Bass traps?

[NYMorningstar]

Do speaker cabinets or columns make good bass traps? In a good ole spare bedroom with drums, amps and a PA with your monitors at shoulder height, should your bass traps be placed in corners on the floor or level with the monitors or both?

The more corner surface you can treat the better. So the correct answer is Both.

So it's best to treat the entire corner?

And the ceiling to wall corners if you have the resources.

And the speaker still needs to get out of there.
