Ethan,

I am just about to finsh construction on my mid-hi absorbers. Next, I was going to start on the low bass panel traps. But now I noticed that you have developed "mini-traps". Are these as ...

I am in the process of building some mid-hi absorbers. SInce these are simpler to make than the bass traps, I decided to start with them. I'll post pictures when they are finished.

I was at Home Depot on Saturday, and the do not have 1/8" plywood, however they do have 5.2 mm. Luan plywood which is about 3/16" thick. Will that work??

I read that bass tends to build up in corners. I do not now if this is a fact or not, but let's assume that it does. This is my question.
