RE: Multiple, smaller tube traps...?

Got it, Jon. Too easy. I was thinking about that - whether I want/need them to do more than just handle bass. I dunno. Wrapping some polyester batting around them would also be easy.

Any thoughts about non-corner bass traps, such as traps tuned for bass applied to walls or ceilings?

I was also reviewing the Owens Corning literature about the 700 Series rigid fiber glass products and saw listed a 707 material, described as for acoustic use. But the document didn't provide any detail about the product, and I haven't found any mention of applying this on the web.

My original game plan had been to apply traps in the corners primarily intended for bass absorbtion, and panels, made of something like Owens Corning 705, on the walls and ceilings for broader band absorbtion. I'm sure these panels work better at some frequencies than others. I suppose some broad band absorbtion in the corners could possibly be helpful. How much of which frequency band to absorb? I don't have equipment to measure all of this, I was just going to go by ear.
