This won't do much for bass.  The more bass reflections you have the 
more wave cancellations you get--ie spots in your room where there's no 
bass.  Your room will sound even better if you build some full spectrum 
absorbers:

i ended up not following this design precisely, but built some frames 
out of 1"x4" boards for 2'x4' sheets of 2" thick fiberglass.  covered 
with burlap.  more work but also sounds way better.
