Help with 6 acoustic panel placement in bedroom

i Recently purchased 4 24x36x2 ATS acoustic panels and 2 24x48x4 bass traps. i did not receive them yet but wanted to know if this would be an ideal setup for the space i have.

The bass traps are labeled 1 & 2 in red and the 4 panels are labeled in black
other information: My TV is mounted on the wall, so no panels can fit behind my speakers.
in the bottom right on the bottom wall, there is a mirrored sliding door closet with the window on the right sided wall

I would contact the company you bought from to get them to help you out. Most professional acoustic companies will work with you on placement of product and also set up of your mix spot.

Agreed, the place you got the panels from should be helping you with all this.

That said, I would not set the room up that way. See here for more detail on our room setup strategy: RealTraps - How To Set Up a Room

I would rather see you face the top wall on your drawing (centered) with the speakers firing towards the closet door. Bass traps in the front corners as they are shown (but straddling the corners, not on the wall). Then you can use the other four panels at first reflection points - above you, to the sides, and perhaps one on the front wall.

I know it makes for an odd situation with the bed but that set up seems the most practical to me. Honestly, I would try a few different set ups and see whats work best. It can be frustrating to move that many objects multiple times in a day - but it can be worth your while.

i wish i could do it this way but there is no wall outlet on that wall and routing all my plugs around my room doesn't seem practical.

thanks for the help everyone
