Pics of my DIY bass traps

[moreira85]

I built these for the corners. I used burlap as a cover. My only complaint is that I can see through the burlap a little which I didn't like.

Looks good. Where will you place them?

If I were single they would be on the walls or kiddie corner. So because of the WAF they are in the corners on the floor right up against one side of a wall wedged into the corner. They are hidden behind plants. Another is right in the corner with the SVS. Wife just rolls her eyes as I was making them.
Sounds good

I don't blame her, that looks worse than a bass trap, it looks like the monolith from 2001: A Space Audessy. Jk .

Hey, if you go with a projector setup with an acoustically transparent screen and false wall, you could bass trap the $hit outta that front wall, and nobody would be the wiser.

Yeah, but she'd know that they were there.

Well I also forgot burlap smells!

You should let them air out outside for a few days.. White vinegar usually gets rid of odors as well

Burlap is already on the trap so using vinegar would soak into rockboard right?

You know they sell faux suede on ebay by the yard for not too much. I was thnking about making my own corner traps so I've kinda been half *** researching.

Probably would get some on it.. Not sure what kind of effect, if any, vinegar would have on rock board.

I definitely notice an improvement. Tighter bass. However I'll know more after I run REW. I'll update after I do it. I'm waiting till we take down the Xmas tree then ill measure.

I bought some new fabric called jet set and just put it right over the burlap. Wow it looks incredible. The burlap looked terrible. The jet set makes it look professional.
