Uh, yeah I guess, but that was an awful lot of work . . . of course I have three boxes of rigid fiberglass laying around myself

It should work. Probably not as efficient per inch of thickness but definately better then cheap foam or nothing at all.

Are you anywhere near Lake Bluff or Chicago? SPI has outlets in those two places in WI.

Rigid fiberglass is about 4x as dense as "normal" stuff, this is done with huge rolling compressor machinery and I doubt you'd get very close to that density, plus how would you KEEP it there without really strong coverings?

I'd keep looking... Steve

Thanks for the info Steve.

After looking around I found a place that sells "UltraTouch", it's about 2 Hours from me, I'll call him tomarrow to see how much it goes for! I'm going to MN next week, so I might be in for a little side trip

better yet I found this place which is really just a 40 min side trip

You'll still have to compress the UltraTouch about 4x. If you want, Acoustical Surfaces has 3lb cotton similar to 703 that actually performs a bit better.

nope live in Canada Ont. If any body knows of places in Guelph (or Kitchener or around that area) that would be great.

ds21 Thxs thats perfect, I tried googleing "homemade bass traps" but couldn't find anything verry useful, thxs.
