How to fix a lack of bass Null

Hi
Have tryed tying all sorts of different key words on Audiogon, until to day did'nt relised, that a room could be affected by a lack of bass, from what I read, this call a null, I have tryed different equipment over the last couple of years as I always thought that my equiment was bass shy. I found this programe on Audiogon called Hunecke speaker calulator, not shore if I am using it properly,It shows a big dip @31.5 - 63 hz and could explain a lake of base at my seating position, I cant seem to be able to move the speaker with the cursor, this is suppose to change speaker location and tell you flatess spot I think if I am reading it right? Do I buy a meter and setup disk? what treaments is there for this problem (Nulls), if this is the case?I google with know real answer's!
Room 5.250L x 4.00W x 2.4H

K_rose -

343/5.25/2=32.66Hz where 343m/s is the speed of sound, 5.25m is the distance between your walls, 2 is because you need two times distance to amplify (from speaker to back wall + back to front wall + front wall to speaker = 2x distance between walls). Exact multiples of 32.66Hz will be multiplied as well since their wavelength is an even fraction.

Nulling is pretty much the same with odd divisions.

Kijanki, you are computing for 2 wall reflection....good start, and the most important.
How about 3 and 4 wall?

Magfan - it's getting too complicated for me. I saw 3d graphs of the room and it shows kind of "domes" instead of waves (combined effect of all walls). People with better math skills can understand it probably further.

Yeah, that's why I gave up on meters / analysis / test disks and just listen.
You can do about 3/4 of what a consultant can do, for a fraction of the money with only investing time and patients.
Next thing, we'll be talking about RT60 and other phenom.

A good example, kind of OT, is my TV. Yep, I could spend the Big Bucks on an ISF guy to come out and Calibrate, but I can get maybe 3/4 the benefit with the use of a DVE disk (digital Video Essentials)

Magfan - 3/4 is good enough for me. I have echo problems in my room but I'm not going to hire consultant - way too expensive for me. I will study the problem myself and settle for 3/4 (or even 50% improvement).
