OK..i figured the one speaker had to be at least 1 foot off the sidewall. I can start, with the speakers 6" off the back wall..then just bring them out. I'm not sure what the back ports do...closer in..more bass? I would fire them strait into the room as i would like sound stage..more then a focal point.
I'm also thinking of not putting any feet on them at all. The carpet is kind of like indoor/outdoor stuff..thin with a pad. Not much there....just let them sit flat on the floor or concrete..as thats whats under the carpet.
