That's good. Orient yourself in the room so the speakers fire the longer way down the room. If you're lucky, that will also have the ceiling start low in the front, go up in the center, and back down in the rear. Either way, plan on some traps under the peak as shown here:

since the ceiling is vaulted, a standard 90 degree corner trap wouldn't work.
You should still put traps there straddling the corner.

question 2, because the ceiling is vaulted, would i need a cloud over the mix position?
Yes, you still need to treat the reflection points on the ceiling. Unless the ceiling angle is such that there are no reflections toward you.

Quote:
if i take the doors off the closet on the back wall, that would extend the length of the room by at least another 3 feet. is this advisable?
Yes!

Quote:
do i need to make another set of corner traps for the inside of the closet?
Yes, because that's now the rear wall.
