Thanks for all your comments! I've built and mounted most of the planned absorbers, with one exception; the absorber panels on each side of the LP, which incidentally is what you're talking about ;-) thanks FOR bringing up the mirror thing Carlos, that's what I've been thinking about doing, but perhaps I shouldn't then given this conversation...
So, if the mirror trick doesn't work as intended, is there some other rule of thumb I can use when placing my absorber panels on the sides of my LP? Fons?
Thanks for all the help again all of you!

Sure, Fons, put salt everywhere; I'm aware of some of that, but as I
pointed out I'm no expert, just wanted to add my two cents just to
begin making a blurred image of what's the problem to make it clearer
afterwards with more knowledge.
Thanks for clarifying anyway.
