I have a small forest of Knauf sourced traps sealed at each end with wooden pie plates. My sister-in-law fashioned spandex sleeves for them. I use a mix of 12" and 18" and stack them. I placed the 18 inchers behind the speakers and the 12 inchers mid way into the room.
Empirically, they were able to vastly improve the bass linearity in the bottom couple of octaves. Highly recommended.

How thick is your insulation? I've read that people are buying 1" thick but have not heard if thicker is better or actually worse.
Thanks
Is it best to put end caps on 3' sections and stack them, vs gluing two 3' sections and capping the ends of a 6' tube trap?
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".
