The Linacoustic will definitely bring things in line. I'd do 2" on the front wall if you can do the triangle chunks behind the couch (good thing to do). If you can do 2-4" thick panels on the back wall and then hang just the mats in front (no glass) that'd be great too.

Great news about the Linacoustic! Will do, then.

See what it will look like based on this pic of my carpenter friend's house down the street (at least the bottom half) at this link http://allredp.photoshop.com I've roped him into helping me!

Also, the 2" of Linacoustic on the front wall--can I just layer two 1" sheets of the stuff together? Which side should be out/facing the room? And if I can stack them, which layer should be sandwiched?

I will plan on doing triangle chunks all along the back wall behind my sofa (about 15" long). Any size recommendation? I had thought of the traditional 17" x 24" x 17". Should I use John Manville spin-glass (I have 3" 4'x8' sheets), or the 3" mineral wool? Also, considering this triangle chunk trap will lay down in front of the Linacoustic framed wall--will that be a problem?

What do you suggest about that mini-corner I have in the back next to a bumped-out closet (it is 19" deep), is it worth doing a corner trap there (especially considering my floor/wall trap that will be laying along the floor)? Here's the pics to show it: HT-back-from-Front-L.gif

As per the back wall, I'll see what I can do within WAF restrictions!!!

One last question--in my front R corner where the sub is sitting, I plan on triangle-chunking it floor to ceiling, but I actually have another 11"-12" inside the wall (as you can see it is built out a lot to account for an upper plumbing pipe) that I can hollow-out and fill with mineral wool for bass-trapping along side the sub (up to my 38" height and as far along sideways as needed) if that would help. Here's a pic to see what I'm talking about. PhilPlanSubTrapCorner.gif

I can't thank you enough for the help!
