Here's some pics if the corner traps.

I want to finalize the size before I start on the other corner, obviously!

If you leave them bigger, you'll obviously need to buy more material. They'll reach deeper into the bass this way. If you can swing the budget, I'd leave them bigger.

Just also make sure there is no interference with speaker locations.

I think you've got my Studio 60's around 43" in from the wall (on center), so that should leave plenty of rooms for the fronts.

I think I'll just go pick up a couple more bundles of 2" OFI-48.

Should be fine.

Any thoughts on what to do with the wall/ceiling corner? I've got a fair amount of space between the front soffit/valence and the wall. Put covered safe-n-sound up there? I was thinking about running a horizontal bass trap along there in addition to the side ones. (I will be removing the drywall facing you see behind there that is unpainted and covering the corner bass trap.)

You can bulk it up a bit by squaring it off up there if you want. It's not a big deal either way as long as you remove that drywall.

It looks like a great theatre in the making MacBuster..

Looking forward to seeing the end result..
Have you decided on a projector yet?

My conversation with the wife went something like this:

"I'm nearly at the point where I have to buy a projector..."

"Ok, how much will it cost?"

"Well, I was thinking of a JVC RS-20. It's very nice, but a bit more than I wanted to spend..."

"How much is it?"

"...less than some others?..."

"how much is it?"

"Did I mention how much I love you?"

:: stern look::

"um....$6500"

"you're dreaming."

Conversation over.

In other words, the projector choice is "currently in committee."
