i am about to build some tube traps and panels ala jon risch info. i was hoping to glean some info regarding what would work best, i.e. what diameter tube traps etc.
my room is 15.5 x 12.5 x 8.5, adjoining another room of similar dimensions via an archway. i have the speakers about 6.5 feet into the room facing towards the archway, with toe in they fire through the archway. they are also 3.5 feet from the side walls.
i assume bass traps in all corners will help with the bass problems, suck out and peaks around listening position, but what size and should traps also be used in the adjoining room?
any and all suggestions appreciated greatly.thanks all.

I don't need the bass traps but these Risch panels work well behind my Lowther/Medallion cabinets. Size is about 30" wide x 60" high but elevated to about 20" above the floor. I extended the frames to be self supporting.Jim D.
Build the traps as big as you feel you can handle, keeping in mind that anything over 16" in diameter for a 1st timer would be bitting off too much. 12" diameter traps will do plenty of good, and are not as hard to build.Height is not as much of an issue, as long as you use the extra support discs in the middle, as per the DIY note.
3 foot minimum height, and I would not try to go more than 6 feet high , and most of the animal fencing that is readily available is only 5 feet high. Two three foot high (nominal height, actual hieght wil be slightly greater) traps can be stacked on tiop of one another, so that one (pair) of corners can be doubled-up readily.
If you have the inclination then build all younthink that yo will need, as many feel that you should build as many traps in the first sitting as you think you will need, so as to not have to go through the mess with the fiberglass again later (it is all relative, some folks seem bothered by the construction, others don't seem to think it a big deal).
On the other hand, if you found you needed more than four in the first room, then adding on some Super Quick & Dirty versions in the next room, or on top of the existing ones would be relatively easy and quick to do.

http://www.geocities.com/jonrisch/a4.htmIt is important to have all the steps firmly in mind, and all the info from others who have gone before.
