Re: DIY Tube trap and fiberglass density

The fiberglass density is essentially the "R" in an acoustic RC network.

Too low a density will not provide enough acoustic resistance, and not enough damping action. Bass damping capability of the trap will be reduced, and it will not go as low.

Too high a density, and the bass pressure wave never makes it fully into the inner cavity or back out to be damped, the trap just takes up space in the room.
