Cardas Speaker placement..

Once again I'm playing around with speaker placement.After reading some from the cardas site I fiqure I would try this method.After putting my dimension's in the calculator it says 4' from the sitde walls.I went with this but the final set up looks rediculous".The speakers look smashed together.does this seem right in a 14.5' room or did I do something wrong..?My room is 14.5' x 22' x7'.The reason for the change in placement is the bass is never right to me..I tried other speakers in this room with the same results..Thanks

another question on the matter.My ceiling above my speakers is not sealed.What I mean is the drop ceiling is made from wood frames covered with black cloth.If the drop ceiling wasn't there you whould see the floor joist and the insulation.My question is if the ceiling was sealed with drywall traping in the sound whould this give me better bass?

Are most of your ceilings drop or drywalled?

My ceiling has Roxul fiberglass in between the 2by6's and then another sound barrier and then 5/8ths inch drywall. I would have used the resilient channel for better sound proofing but didn't want to loose more of the limited 7' height.

I've also seen baffles angled downwards to 'catch' the ceiling reflections on the ceiling.

Do you think by containing the sound it gives for better bass response?Maybe by containing it your able to move more air with the bass..
