This is a rough layout of my bedroom. I missed out on some surrounds that are mounted on the rear walls. I don't have much space but I want to try to make the best of it. As you can see I have a wardrobe and windows on the left and right side of the room which doesn't allow me to mount any acoustic panels on the sides but I made do with some thick acoustic foam I command stripped to the window sill and wardrobe doors. They're large enough to not get in the way but I definitely can't really fit panels there, they've helped enough so far for first reflections albeit not ideal but Audyssey is doing a good job on that front and I'm currently happy.
So now I'm planning to DIY some 4" acoustic panels with 4" 60kg/m3 Rockwool. 60x120cm sized but effectively it'll be taking up 90x150cm. I'm starting off with 3 panels which will be put on my rear walls above my computer table(horizontal mount), and to the side of my bed when I change to a smaller single bed. The third one I'm still wondering if I should hang it on my door or to the wall in between the door and wardrobe. There's just enough space there for a panel there and not to get in the way of the door opening.
The other 3 panels would be placed on the front wall one each behind the speakers and one above the TV(horizontal). With the lack of space you can see I have no corners I can place bass traps and I have some bass issues so I'm hoping that 4" panels will help with it.
My question is whether 3-6 panels would be too much or too little for bass and echo and is there any advice you can give me? I could probably fit another acoustic panel above the TV and possibly pull my computer table forward to add another panel and change the mounting to vertical instead. I can't add acoustic panels to both the door and the wall next to it at the same time so I have to choose either one or make 2x 2"acoustic panels and straddle because the gap from the door open to the wall is 4" so I could do that but I believe thinner panels don't do well with absorbing lower freqs.
EDIT: I could also possibly add a cloud panel on the ceiling.
