Nulls can't be fixed with equalization. With a 10dB NULL you need 10X the power or 3X the displacement you have at other frequencies. With 20dB it's 100X or 9X.
If you need 100W for sufficient bass head-room and aren't excursion limited, you'll need at least 2000W to overcome a 10dB null due to thermal compression. If you are excursion limited and are stacking woofers in the same location you'll need to triple their count.
Listener and/or speaker movement are the only reasonable solutions for nulls. I had to move my chair six inches to get decent bass in my current living room.
