Corner bass traps on top of subwoofers. Thoughts?

Just recently saw a picture of corner bass traps on top of subwoofers in a very high end room. Has anyone else done this? Any thoughts?

These peaks tend to be in the same location in the room which is why they are called standing waves. If the peaks are in the corners than on top of the sub would be fine.

The overall effectiveness is dependent on other characteristics of your room. Try, it may work for you.
