Mike, no mention of how much your ARs are elevated and what kind of stands. Could the "hooty or boxy sound" be caused by floor coupling? Is the 20" wall dimension to the back of the cabinet or the front baffle? I would look for at least 36" from the wall to the back of the cabinet. With the AR bass, you should not need room reinforcement.
Also, is it too obvious to ask if they are vertical rather than horizontal?
