I decided that I’m going to ask my dealerfor a refund even though I already installed the foam with glue.  I really feelthat my dealer and auralex misrepresented the product.  I’m probablygoing to go with the realTrap solution myself.  I’d be very interested inhearing how they work out for you.

Those are some pretty expensive bass traps!  I ordered someMiniTraps from RealTraps.com today.  I'll let you all know how it worksout.  I was impressed with what I have read on recording.org forum onstudio and control room acoustics and had some nice email exchanges with Ethan,the head of RealTraps.com before ordering.  So far, so good.

sorry for the late response, been really busy and haven't been able tokeep
up with all my lists.

I ended up using 12" foam from Auralex. I now wish I had done some more
research.  This is what I wish I had gotten:
