Oh boy...yeah, that's going to be a problem. That is a teeny, tiny room man. I hate to be a downer, but I don't think it's large enough to be a useful space. Add to that the fact that you're doubling your two smallest dimensions, and you've got a recipe for disaster acoustically. I'd abandon the idea of using that space and do what you need to to find another.

For high frequencies, yes. For low frequencies, absolutely not.

...and that's the issue. At a certain point a space is so small that by the time you're done treating it enough to be useful, it's not useful anymore because there's no room to move.
