I'm trying to acoustically treat my 11'x10'x8' bedroom. I've read on here that it's best to use four corner bass traps, but I don't think I'll be able to do that. My door is corner-fed, so I only have a couple inches between the door frame and the corner. I have the same thing going on with the adjacent corner, only it's my closet that's really close to the corner. So I can only do bass traps on two adjacent corners.
Is this going to have a serious negative impact on the acoustics of my room? Can I build anything else to compensate for the lack of the two traps?
Thanks.
What if I can do only two corner traps?

Wall/Roof edges :)
2 is most likely better than nothing provided you can either do both front corners or both back corners - maintain left to right symmetry.
Also, the previous suggestion to use the wall/ceiling corners is a good idea and doesn't take up any valuable floor space.

When you can't mount one trap straddling a corner, the solution is to use two traps, adjacent and flat on the walls (or door) as close to the corners as you can get. This is in addition to ceiling corners as Gareth and Bryan suggested. --EthanMy door is corner-fed, so I only have a couple inches between the door frame and the corner.
Is that effective? We're only talking about a foot or so between the top of the door and the ceiling.Wall/Roof edges :)
What if one corner isn't at a perfect 90? My corner entry door sits at an angle. The "corner" is about 60 degrees.

You still need a trap there. --EthanWhat if one corner isn't at a perfect 90? My corner entry door sits at an angle. The "corner" is about 60 degrees.
