Bass Traps

Has anyone built their own bass traps? If so what did use for the frame work and what type of insulation did you use?

You can get them in some very large diameter sizes and are made out of heavy carboard. Then drill many holes in it. Stuff it with mineral wool / insulation / fiberglass etc. and then cover the outside with fabric. Cap the ends with whatever- wood etc. A cheap DIY project. ozzy

He can also be found over at audio asylum. He has been very helpful over at audio asylum. I built two 20” traps per his design 10 years ago. Still using them. Supposed to be similar to RPG traps. joe
