marvda1,
I used 6' tall rolls of 8 pcf carpet underlay foam as bass traps for years.
Used them just the way they came.
I put a full roll in each of 4 corners.
They do an excellent job!
Actually they were an overkill.
Paid $65 per roll.
As an experiment I cut the rolls down to 4 ft. length/ht.
And I re-rolled them over a 10" diameter mandrel to make them tubes.
Of course I removed the mandrel.
4 ft tubes work almost as good as the 6 ft solid version.
And the left over 2 footers can be made into a third trap.
Since then I made my own corner traps using 3.5 pcf seating foam.
These go floor to ceiling.
I have my own patern for the front surface contour.
I'd tell you about it, but I'd have to kill you.
These work almost as good as the 4 foot tubes as bass traps, but the overall sound is better since they reach up to the corners.
They also provide a small amount of diffusion.
