Using DSP may work, but you still have the SAME room. I tend to agree with ansat.
If you are in a null and turn up the bass and EQ the heck out of it, the REST of the room and house will have intolerable boominess.
The OP? He solved his problem and worked the issue.

Gentlemen, I may have missed it in the thread somewhere but,,,,,,,,,,has the OP tried to make sure that the subs are in phase???
I used an SPL meter with a similar situation at my seated position. With the front sweet sub I took a measurement, turned on sub two, next to my seated position, found a 3-4 db drop,,,,,,,turned the phase knob and BINGO, I had a 6-7 db increase at my seat. I changed nothing else.
They now play very well together now, room is a rockin!!! Much more accurately reproducing my music and movies.

Hello 2012 post! Its weird seeing my old posts. ROFL its me quoting jamrock! That's a name that has not been around in a while. And to top it off, its a rare post where I didn't recommend DSP.

Odd that this one pops up this week. Last weekend, I was rerunning emoQ and not liking the results, then I was realizing that I was not liking my bass to start with. So, I did a room walk and found a large null. To my right...right by the open stairwell leading upstairs. I played with sub placement for a while and ended up with the sub being moved from the right near the back wall to the left out in line with my FL main. It didn't solve the null by the open stairs fully but overall the bass is tighter/less boomy and very rich vs. what I had.
Moral of the story? Experiment!

My issue was the sub null was at my seating position! I kept leaning over to my right and my sig other was like what are you doing! Frustrated for awhile I waited for her to go out one day a week ago and began the crawl.. Settled in front left corner.. Leaving me to move the bookcase and furniture .. She wasn't happy but after a glass of wine was ok with it. I think it looks better :-). Had to adjust phase as well.. Like a diff room. Music is where in my room it was sounding flappy and like someone sucked the low mid level out of the songs ... Nice and tight - whatever I did it sounds great to my ears :-) .. Cheers |

That would be annoying if the slightest move of the head made the bass change. In my case, I think the null on the right side made it such that if I turned up the sub level too much or ran the sub to any higher frequency, I got really boomy bass. This is much more tamed now, so I am getting good bass volumes w/o the boom or muddy sound.
