I could use a couple on the ceiling.

I'd like to install a couple Mondo's in the front but I'm out of room for them May have to investigate a DIY trap another guy I know did when he was tight on space.

You must have talked to Ivan. He also recommended a pair of 112's when we spoke yesterday. You guys in cahoots?

I'm leary of the PC thing but as I've said before, I'm willing to try. My wallet is fearing the 2 10 footers I'm going to need to power the speakers!

LOL @ being in cahoots with Ivan - I'll keep working to be somewhere in the same realm as him in terms of his audio knowledge and good taste I do seriously stand behind the JL F112 recommendation - I intend to upgrade to two of them for my system when I am able.

In terms of the Real Traps, are you lacking room for the Mondo Traps in terms of height or width? You probably already know this, but they do make shorter ones (2x4 and 2x2) that are thicker - the 2x4 is the one I am using due to height issues in my listening room. I'm pretty sure they will make custom sizes as well. I would suggest replacing and/or moving your tri-corner traps if needed to make room for Mondo Traps. Having them in all of your room corners makes the most difference. You could also look at moving your MicroTraps to the ceiling at some point and replacing them with HF MiniTraps on the side first reflection points as that should help more with bass trapping as well.

Hope that info is useful - good luck with working out the best solution for your setup!
