RE: Tube Bass Traps.




I made them just as the fiberglass 'pipe insulation' came: in 36 inch sections. I then purchased some replacement PVC louvers from Lowes, made for vertical patio- door mini-blinds. These flexible plastic pieces were about 3 inches wide by 6-7ft tall. I affixed (staples) the white PVC encircling the top of each tube. I left half of the top portion (1.5 inches) raised above the top of the tube. When I stack two tubes, the upper tube fits into the PVC circle. Works well and is easy to move. Even two units together can be "hug-lifted" to place in another area.
Here's a picture. The gray tubes are real ASC tube traps. The others are mine. You can see how the whit PVC holds the top tube in place. I placed a brass thumbtack to show which side has the plastic diffusor on it. BTW : the diffusors work great ! But the ASC models are much better, but I couldn't afford more than 6 of them. Good luck !
