Bass traps? (to solve a suck out)

No one note bass at one point I am down about 13db so its there just not flat but not ideal for sure, and I never said to myself it doesnt sound right but the seating and speaker positiion are both new so maybe I could trim that a bit but I know not completely. With one note bass wouldnt that would be more of an issue with peaks masking things right? I know its my room but have only been here in new house for a few months so I knew before I even did the test that it was highly impossible that things would be perfect, its a double edged sword to know of the issues, one hand being it ofcourse it stinks to see you have more work to do then you planned but its great to atleast know the issue and have the ability to try to change things. Tomorrow I am going to get back to measuring and will have help to move things around so I hope to trim that enough that I can insert Behringer into my bass amp and electronically raise the dip. Having a bi-amp system is perfect for this.

bass traps cannot fix a suck out, but you should still treat your room to achieve other benefits.

you can equalize a bit by overlapping your main speakers with a subwoofer, then adjust the phase control and sub level until you reach a desired result. you may not be able to completely solve the issue, but this has worked for me in the past. also, you can try active room correction too.

Hi Holeneck, you said "bass traps cannot fix a suck out, but you should still treat your room to achieve other benefits."

That is a completly false statement. Bass traps do indeed flatten peaks and raise nulls IE: fix suck outs. They also narrow the width of the peaks and nulls among other benefits.

Bass traps cannot fill in bass nulls.

Hi Onhwy61, if this is so, do tell me what works.
