Room Treatment


Hello All

I have been doing some research on room treatment and am not really sure how to proceed. I am listening in a 12’x 20’ x 9’ living room with the speakers on a short wall. Have recently updated equipment and now want to extract better performance. Has anyone here had GIK advise them what products of theirs to start with?  How many people actually take room measurements before proceeding with treatment? 
I think i need to start with front corner traps, minor first reflection point treatment and at least 1 good trap on the rear wall. thoughts?  
Thanks

I made my own simple corner absorbers several years ago out of covered Owens Corning 703. 8'x20"x4" deep, standing in four corners, they are considered more of a broadband absorber than a bass trap. I since have come to understand I can get them to absorb more of the lower frequencies by making them 6" deep, and I am also looking into putting a front diffuser pattern on them to keep some of the mid high and highs  in the room.
