bass in the room

Rhljazz, I took a look at your system, my room is much wide and more open.
Tgrisham,
I think you are absolutely correct, I just walked thru my hallway back and forth, and it's really strong right at the midway. and also, I have a 20' corridor connecting it with the front door, it's a kind of T-shape intersection

I am imagining a grouping of bass traps in the hallway. Hmmm...... That should go over well.

Tgrisham,
my sub was in the nw corner from the left speaker slightly behind facing to the center, and pointing the hallway. yesterday, I turned away from the center, parallel to the left wall, and it's so much better now, it's still there but not as much
would you suggest to put some traps in the hallway

No, actually, I was joking, thinking of what my very patient wife would say to bass traps in the hallway. I would probably be beaten over the head with them! I have found that using a decibel meter and one of the spreadsheets for bass frequencies can help. Smoothing out a sub's frequency responses is very labor intensive. I still think you should try the trick of placing the sub where you sit and walking around to find the "best" sound from the sub. Then, put the sub there. Getting a Radio Shack meter and taking measurements, recording them, using one of the spreadsheets that help you correct the inaccuracy of the meter and moving the sub around is better. Check out the many posts here on Audiogon. I am no guru. Try out all the methods. Remember to have fun!

Or you coud get Room EQ Wizard for free at the Home Theater Shack and show us the results.
