Unfortunately the ceiling in the garage is finished blueboard with plaster over it. I'm actually contemplating what you recommend as far as increasing the density/number of the floor joists but would have to do so by tearing up the carpet then the subfloor to get at it from the listening room.
Have had a RTA in here and things were fairly flat but bass output turned out to be slightly low even with a powered subwoofer. We had to crank up the sub to it's peak capability to get a flat response, where a colleague who has the exact same sub actually had to reduce it's level as much as the sub would allow. This in part due to room size and perhaps partially the floor. I guess I should have mentioned another primary concern is my equipment vibrating somewhat when I have significant volume level, although I'm using Walker Valid POints which do help drastically and the rack sits on spikes which then sit on drilled platforms of Corian solid surface material.
