Absorption behind components and speakers rationale?


I get that absorption panels are used to absorb the first reflection and limit reverberations is a good idea.  And a rug and maybe some additional panels help absorb Rogue Sonic waves.

But what's the rationale for including absorption panels behind the system.  I have a window door behind my system and maybe this is impacting things in a negative way.

Just looking for a simple easy to understand rationale because not very smart.

I thought that the general rule of thumb was diffusion panels at the first point of reflection?  Had I thought wrong? 

It appears as if those Bubos acoustical panels from Amazon are only 0.4 " thick.
