bass traps . Which kind

Hello . I am getting conflicting views on bass traps. I currently have the "superchunk" diy in my corners.
I have been doing research again on room treatments. Some are saying it is best to leave a air gap behind them in the corners . Ethan weiner of real traps has 2x4 4inch thick panels in the corners with lots of space behind them
Do these outperform the superchunk ? if they do i will have lots of material if i reconfigure the superchunk
I could do alot more area .
What do you think ?

I do not want to bother companies i have no intention of purchasing goods from . I want assurance the last statement about the straddling corners will outperform the superchunk. If it does i will have a ton of extra material for ceiling and more wall panels.
The supercunk method uses say, ten times more material than ethan weiners way

I would strongley reccomend room treatments.There is a night and day difference in the sound in my room. My research on this subject came up with do finite answer . some say air gap some say no. I think i am going to dismantle the superchunks and make panels for the ceiling lines. Also more panels for second reflection points.
