Hey Shacksters,

In the pictures attached, I have an interesting space above my subwoofer caves in my proscenium (one on each side) that I'm considering filling with spin-glass chunks (4" thick) to the ceiling. I would slide these cut pieces in vertically and then wedge them down horizontally inside the space. I'm hoping to create something of a bass trap in these two front "corners."

Both L & R of the front have these bays that are roughly 18" x 24" x 6' high to the ceiling. Where the slit opening is from top to bottom will be filled with a theater curtain when watching movies.

The panel on the front and top half of the column face (just above the sub cave and to the side of the L/R speaker shelves--which is brown) will be openened up and house a decorative medieval shield. This will be mounted on a simple frame in that opening covered with linacoustic (1") and covered with quilt batting and fabric for a poofy look. I'm hoping that having the suspended linacoustic in that bay will allow sound to travel back inside the proscenium and get trapped in my stack of spin-glass chunks.

So, based on that rather convoluted description, will filling that space above the subwoofers with chuncked spin glass (much like OC 703) in flat 4" thick pieces give me much effect?

Also, I'm planning on filling the hole below the equipment cave in the right rear (see pic) with the same kind of chunks and then covereing the opening with upholstery (breathable). That space in the back R corner is about 38" high and about 18" x 18". I don't have a similar cave in the L rear corner...

Of further interest, the bottom boxed panels all around the room, including the back wall and the front below the screen (as well as some along the face and sides of the proscenium in front) will all be covered with 1" linacoustic and GOM, while the top boxes will all have quilted batting and GOM on top.

BTW, my room is 15.5 x 14.5 x 7'10" with two risers (8" high ea.).

I really appreciate any insight/ideas!

Thanks much,
Phil
