This is to the experts, Ethan, Frank, etc.

Instead of cutting into triangles to make a superchunk, wouldn't cutting into squares provide better results?

A normal superchunk at its thickest point is 17" and this effectively reduces to 0", but a square at it's thickest point is also 17", but this only reduces to 12". It has more surface area at a constant 12" thickness.

Also if you turn the square around and make use of the airgap, wouldn't that further improve its performance?

The only downsides I can see in both cases is that it protrudes further into the room (bad in small spaces) and doesn't extend as far along the walls.

...Just throwing the idea out there.

i like the idea but wont that intruduce two new corners for bass to collect where you only had one before, the triangle removes the corner

No, that's not how it works. You don't want to remove the corner, but instead fill it with thick absorbent material.

I've used office dividers (used-pennies on the dollar) as bass traps and they work out just fine.
You should be able to find them at any used office supply outlet. At different shapes and sizes.

Ahh nice. Very creative. Good thinking!!
