You haven't touched on your testing methods in this thread too much.

Will you be using REW to do a before and after using response and waterfall?

What results are you hoping for?

I will be relying mostly on my ears, not the most scientific method, I know! I will also use REW to have a look at the subs response before and after. I am using a BFD and have achieved a response that I am happy with, not perfect but good enough for my 'tin ear'. The main reason for builiding the traps was to get rid of some boominess I have when listening to certain music, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in particular, the boominess could well be in the mixing? Boomy bass may be a slight exaggeration as the problem is definitely is not severe by any means. Am not sure if the traps will make any difference, they may only make a difference that only I can 'hear', or may only serve as conversation pieces for visitors.

Probably won't use the waterfall as I do not really understand what I am looking at when looking at the results?
