For floor bounce, draw an imaginary straight line from the front of the speaker (the center of the midbass driver), to the floor, ending at your listening seat at the same angle. Put the rug over the floor at that mid-point where the line hits the floor.
Speaker placement: Rug in front of speakers vs Rug underneath speakers
My room has hardwood flooring. I can get a rug large enough to go underneath the speakers, or one that ends just in front of the speakers (so, speakers on hardwood). This is for a 2-channel set up. Speakers are Sonus Faber Aida (with a downfiring infrawoofer) if that makes a difference.
Is the answer obvious? Or entirely room dependent?

Well, OP specifically asked about the rug, so. Also, it’s lower frequencies that have longer wavelengths, thus being more affected by floor bounce. See the data here: https://www.prosoundweb.com/images/uploads/TTPSWWavelengthTable.jpg |
