Request for assistance please room treatment


I do have it treated now, but I don't think it's correct. I need to treat it properly. I've tried a multitude of different positions, absorption, diffusion, trapping, etc. and my walls are starting to look like swiss cheese. I'm at the point now where I need to strip the room, putty, sand, and paint. But when I re-install the room treatments, they have to go in the correct position the first time. This is where your assistance comes in. I've tried many different web sites and so on, but it all seems best guess. I'm hoping to lean upon your "experience".
My room is 22'long, 11'wide, and 7'4" high, and is in a finished concrete basement. I look forward to reading your suggestions.
Thank You.

In order to do this right you really need to get a hold of the XLO test CD - it will walk you through the correct way to approach room treatments. Trial and error just doesn't work. Been there done that.
One more thing. Anyone who has Sonex anywhere in the room is advised to remove it poste hasten even in small amounts Sonex does something unfavorable to the sound, maybe it's the open cell construction, who knows, making it sound phasey and unpleasant. Try taking all Sonex out of the room and see what you think. Sonex is one of the most insidious, sonically disastrous products ever perpetrated on naive and gullible audiophiles. And it looks so cool, just like an anechoic chamber. Lol
