Thanks for the responses, any bass trapping efforts would be in addition to wall and ceiling treatments. Im exploring options for low frequency absorption because I want my absorption efforts to be as even across the full frequency range as possible. I am currently building panels 30x44 inch from rock wool 3 inch thick with 3 inch air gap for the early reflection points in my mixing room, I made them sturdy enough to be able to move back and forth from the mixing room to the living room, so they can be double duty at least until I figure out what exactly I should be doing to try and treat the living room. those 2 portable panels would fill most of the space on the back wall between the couch and projector shelf, or could be used as left and right absorption panels. Im not sure what the appropriate placement would be for left and right in the living room. because theres no mix position. the room doesn't allow for a wider spread of the speakers (unless wall mounted) and I would need to put my couch in the middle of the room to be in the sweet spot (that would just be silliness) Its not for critical listening so Im not overly concerned about getting a perfect left/right image. but i do want it to sound as good as I can get it to (considering its flaws) with a reasonable amount of treatment. so Im questioning if the left and right open panels would still be best positioned as if i were in the sweet spot? or further back because the listening positions are further back? or what seems most appropriate to me if there open, would be positioned at equal distances left and right, relatively close to the speakers?

Hi Ryan,
If I understand correctly, you're looking to set up L/R RFZ panels.
The best place for these are at "mirror image points" between your L.P. and your speakers.
If there is no mirror image point (due to a doorway or other spatial feature) then you can still probably benefit by putting absorption above or below the points if there's surface area available.
Ethan has confirmed this by emphasizing absorption above and below his "technically perfect" RFZ points. Sound does radiate outwards, after all.
Thanks.
