Controversial post but I'm happy to argue my point.
Acoustic foam is overpriced for what it does. Especially Auralex.
It's ingrained by a Youtube mentality that acoustic foam is the best form of sound treatment and it's not.
I've worked with many so many actors who've only worked with acoustic foam and they discover that (shocker) acoustic foam doesn't do squat against shouts and screams. It still gives you nasty reverb. The acoustic foam is *not* enough. And they all figure out that something else needs to be added. So yes, as you mentioned, you need to back it up with something else. Either acoustic panels made with Owens Corning 703 or Rockwool. Or if you don't have the tools and don't have the time, large, thick comforters or moving blankets and pillows which cover all bare surfaces as an extra layer.
As a point of reference, look at how much Auralex foam you are getting, how much it weighs and how much it costs.
If your work is primarily just narration work and/or commercials and you don't do character work with screaming, etc. then it should be fine. But if you need to belt out yells, acoustic foam will not cut it.
What you can do are three options or a variation of three options.
Use all of them and cover all bare surfaces.
General rule of thumb. Snap with your fingers and clap with your hands. If you get little to no echo, that's when you're done and when you stop.

Method 3
Or if you don't have the time, the know-how or the skill to make acoustic panels (I suck at DIY and I'm not thrilled on spending too much time on them), you can do Method 3 which is what I did. Buy the Owens Corning 703 or the Rockwool (4 inch in thickness). Buy a Body pillow case like this: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Ultra-Soft-Body-Pillowcase-Breathable/dp/B07CFRBTXW/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=body+pillow+cover&qid=1556809522&s=gateway&sr=8-8 Stuff it in there. Done in 20 seconds. Make sure the ends are properly closed. (choose the ones with a zipper) Place it anywhere. Doesn't look as nice but head-to-head it sounds identical to the other methods. I've recommended this to other actors who were frustrated that acoustic panels were taking too long. They did this and their sound improved vastly and they said it was super easy to do. Credit to Markhowie for the body pillows technique. It works!
get creative w/ ratchet straps and towels and you'll have no problem w/ them moving and scratching each other.
buy 4 of these moving blankets (find a smaller pack than that) and you'll have one to cover the tailgate and one for in between 4 bikes. couple ratchet straps to keep them from bouncing and you're set w/o buying an expensive mtb pad that wont be any better besides looks
