Request for assistance please room treatment


I do have it treated now, but I don't think it's correct. I need to treat it properly. I've tried a multitude of different positions, absorption, diffusion, trapping, etc. and my walls are starting to look like swiss cheese. I'm at the point now where I need to strip the room, putty, sand, and paint. But when I re-install the room treatments, they have to go in the correct position the first time. This is where your assistance comes in. I've tried many different web sites and so on, but it all seems best guess. I'm hoping to lean upon your "experience".
My room is 22'long, 11'wide, and 7'4" high, and is in a finished concrete basement. I look forward to reading your suggestions.
Thank You.

There has been a lot of good suggestions. Every room is going to have issues. Are your speakers set up using the 1/3 or 1/5 model? For example are the speakers about a 1/3 into the room and your listening position about a 1/3 from the back wall? The corner traps are probably OK but I would remove the absorption panels from the front wall. We can't see the sidewalls but at the first reflection points diffusers may work better than absorption. The back wall would benefit from some diffusers but we can't see any pictures. Also as mentioned some toe in of the speakers may help perhaps with a focus a couple of feet behind your listening position to start. It's a trial an error process. Get the bass right by moving the speakers around and then focus on the soundstage and image by the distance between the speakers and toe in.
Forgot to mention if you have ceiling panels you may want to try taking then down since you have carpet and an area rug. The room may be getting to dead. Just a thought
