My local supplier Has Manville 1" thick 20" O.D. pipe insulation.The DIY instructions that I read calls for Knauf pipe insulation.The supplier told me the Manville product is very similar to the Knauf.I read on another thread that filling the tubes with fiberglass attic insulation would improve low end absorption vs.leaving the tubes air filled only with sealed ends.I plan to build four 6' traps for the corners of the room.I hope that will tame some bass boominess that hangs behind the music during passages with low end.Has anybody built tube traps that can advise me?Thanks, Dave |

Can't say why that would be preferable. They would certainly be even more ungainly to move around. ASC, the creator of commercial tube traps currently makes theirs in 48" lengths. The original, however, was 36". Tube Traps |

sections certainly would be easier to move.Where did you find the wooden pie plates? |

Is this "blueprint" based on taking an ASC tube apart? |
