Default Quick Bass Trap Question.

If I have 4 2" thick sheets of Rockboard, would it be better to make 4 2" thick corner bass traps, or 2 4" thick corner bass traps?

I should think it depends on your problem frequencies

To be effective in the bass ( below 150 or so) you'll need the 4" think rockwool. The broadband absorbers are typically 2" while the bass traps are 4".

It would be better to have at least four traps, each four inches thick.
