RE: "… 4 ft wide absorption immediately behind the listening position which opens out into a biggish room behind…"

My plan was to close off the area entirely using solid diffusers rear left and right, and 4 ft absorption panels in the centre which is directly behind the listening position.

I was hoping this would give me a good amount of bass trapping, effectively using the whole room as a bass trap.

I expected some sound to re-enter the room, but having travelled through 4 inches of fibre glass (the absorber) twice that it would have been weakened and delayed. I was also hoping that the difference of the sonic signature of the rear room would be less apparent due to this process.

I guess it's a case of 'suck it and see' :/
