That last row of seats will be an issue for sound How wide is the back wall? It doesn't seem to wide fitting 3 seats tight so I would recommend 1 center back speaker?

The back wall is approx 115"...wide enough to fit three Berkline 090 recliners. Why will the back row be a sound problem?

The back row would be a problem because you want a minimum 2' distance between listening position and rear speaker...same is true for the sides. It "looks" crammed. If you can ensure that all seats are a couple feet off the walls, then there are no suround sound issues. Cheers.

Unfortunately I can't get them off the walls. how big a problem is this going to be?

Big, for surround sound effects. I suggest you either:
1) downsize the seating area;
2) enlarge the room; or, as a last resort,
3) consider some high end in-wall and in-ceiling speakers which would then offer you that extra space (about 1 1/2' in the case of my so called "mini" monitors).

adding to it, you also might wanna tweak your rear/back surrounds with some delay to get that space between the speakers and seating.
