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 for your message. No need to apologize. A lot of crazy things going on out there for sure. Would be nice to meet with you. Will message you when we are planning our next trip. 

I don't usually need to bundle up much. It's only about 15 steps between house and garage. I will grab a raincoat when needed. Will need one today!

I did see the OP's last message. I think when someone thinks about using their garage for other uses they tend to only see a large room that's always cold or hot with a big door or two. Difficult to see how that could be made comfortable for a music room. 

Take care!

You live about 30 minutes west of Tacoma? Wouldn't that put you in the Pacific Ocean, or the Puget Sound? I was up there in the early 70's as a GI residing at Ft. Lewis, so my memory of the area has faded a bit.

Given the choice between a garage and an open floor plan, I’ll take the garage every time.

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.
