Garage into listening room?

So I'm thinking of trying to put a stereo into my garage and use it as my main listening room.  It's apx 20x25 with about an18 foot ceiling.  It's not finished.  

If I set up in an equilateral triangle, say 8 to 10 feet, in the middle of the garage, would that eliminate the need for acoustic treatment?  And if I need treatment, I was thinking of putting a carport frame into the garage and using it to support acoustic treatment.

I wish I had thought of trying this out during the weekend versus on my drive into work this morning.  

Would this work?

Thanks.

Thanks, everyone for the suggestions and info.  It's just an open garage with no pillars.  Since I sold my BMW 650i Coupe, none of my other cars are worthy of being pampered.  They will live outside and be happy.  

Not sure if reverberant outhouses would be so great.  Man, that "splash" sound must have echoed!

I think this plan will be on hold until I decide to actually build a room into my garage.  I had forgotten just how cold (and hot) my garage can get.  I stepped out there a few days ago and thought it'd be difficult to heat that entire space to even a remotely comfortable temperature once it starts to get cold.

I'm in the PNW, about 30 minutes west of Tacoma.

Thanks all.

Charllee,

Just looked at a map.  Turns out I’m about 30 minutes NW of Tacoma.

Ft. Lewis has changed so much.  Bet you wouldn’t even recognize it nowadays.
