You can never have too much bass.

You can never have too much bass.

Well said Mike. And the bass traps seem to really tighten up the bass. I can tell there is a bit of " boomy-ness " on the right side of the theater still, but I have a bunch of bass traps already ordered for that side.

GIK bass traps installed so far ( more are coming in 2 weeks ) - 244 Bass Trap ( 2' x 4' ) with one 242 acoustic panel I already had.

I painted and installed some GIK Gridfusor ceiling diffusers. It's improved the sound for sure. Dialog is cleaner.

I assume GIK worked out the placement location for you?

I assume GIK worked out the placement location for you?

Yes - based on the info and dimensions I gave them, they suggested this would work well. The exact distance from the front soffit was determined using the mirror trick on the ceiling. I could see a speaker in the mirror on the ceiling from between 46" and 70" from the front soffit, depending on which seat I sat in. Since the Gridfusors are 24" x 24", that worked out perfectly. I don't need any more dampening - between velvet curtains, the giant black rug and 3 acoustic panels, it's plenty dampened sound wise. All the bass traps that aren't on the front wall are getting scatter plates as a result. So far, I can hear the improvement. But more bass traps are needed on the right side - that side of the theater is enclosed. That's where 7 of the next 10 bass traps are going.

Four new GIK 244 Bass Traps with scatter plates arrived. I was able to verify these will fit at the top of the walls above my curtains, so I'm going to order more now.

[AVSCraig]

Other bass traps already installed behind the curtains up front - GIK Tri Traps ( I have more coming next week to extend them higher up the corner ) and Monster Bass Traps on the walls behind the curtains -

I have the four bass traps that came the other day installed. Waiting on the next shipment - four more going on this wall - it will be fairly covered in bass traps by the time I get finished !

Hey Craig,

Well my Good-Man post all the pictures so we all can see your expertise on installing those.
