Bass trap

[Eddiebusgetti]

I am building a dedicated music room. I have a back wall that is 17’ long by 8’ high. My idea is to glue 1” of normal building insulation on the wall. Next I propose to hang two 4’ by 12’ by 1/2” thick Sheetrock from the ceiling with rope. One will be above the other giving me 8’ by 12’ coverage just in front of the back wall (separated by the 1” of fluffy pink insulation) These 2 panels will touch the insulation but will not be coupled to the walls, ceiling or the wall that it is hanging in front of. I thought this might do a nice job attenuating the lowest frequencies. What are your thoughts?

Depending on the 'need' bass trapping starts with the corners of the room.

You gave us your back wall dimensions , more is needed........overall room dimensions , how far off the back wall is your listening position, etc

Thanks for the quick response! I’m glad I found this forum. My room is 21 by 17. I have 4 corner bass traps from floor to ceiling. I have 22 703 panels 4 and 6 inches wide. The builders happened to leave these 2 4 by 12 foot drywall panels and my mind started to work. Does it seem like a value added project?
