Acoustic Treatment on rear wall


First of all, I don't have a state of the art home theater system. It is one I built myself and I think it does fairly well for a budget system. Currently, I have most of the corner issues addressed with either book shelves or plants. I don't have a problem with the bass. The first reflection points are either addressed with an open door on one side and a coat rack on the other.

However, I would like to address reflection off the wall behind the couch where I sit. I am a few feet away from the rear wall and I would like to put some kind of diffusion on that wall. The question is how many panels? I thought I would put up a 24 X 48 x 4 panel. Would that be enough for at least some kind of diffusion from behind?

Correction, I would like to add absorption on the rear wall and not diffusion.

Thanks in advance.
Rockadanny, I was considering a single GIK 244 on the wall behind. I was thinking that not only would it kill the reflection back there but might do a pinch of trapping some bass even though I don't really have a bass issue. I was wondering just how many I would need and it looks like either 1 or 2 would do the trick.

The space behind me is not big enough to put a book shelf or anything like that.

Thanks everybody...
