With sound help, the bass traps are up. March 08 Reading online, I found out that acoustic treatment is very important to a having a good theater. I sent a plan of my room to Ready Acoustics. They suggested 12 traps for my room; two thick ones in the closet behind the speakers, five on the ceiling, and five in the corners. The 6" thick ones went behind the speakers fairly easily. I decided, for aesthetic reasons to not buy the traps for the corners, but instead to make them myself. (Future project.) That leaves the ceiling ones. Fortunately, I had the help of a Master Craftsman; my father-in-law. I rented a drywall lift. This allowed me to hold them on the ceiling while we attached them. The traps (24" x 48" x 4") didn't come with instructions on how to mount them flat to a ceiling; only on a wall or hanging at a 45° angle from the ceiling. Since my floor joists were 24" o.c. I figured I'd use 90° corner brackets with the ones near the screen attached to the end of the traps. The ones near the seating area were mounted on the sides. That way the would be hidden, as well as allow both sets to hit wood.
