So I am looking into the most cost effective/ best quality way to make some DIY Bass Traps. As I stand right now, I am going to be purchasing some mineral wool and building a few bass traps that way.

I have a few questions for anyone willing to help.

1) does it matter the type of traps placed on various surfaces. (corners, adjacent walls, ceilings) or can I just make the same design and place it at the problems spots?

2) Is it better to have 4 inch thick rather then 2inch?

3) most importantly. I found this: http://www.homedepot.com/Building-Ma...atalogId=10053

Does anyone think this would work inside of a panel if compacted well? It claims to have acoustic properties and is a fiber. Any thoughts?
