Bass Traps

I recently acquired some bass traps, four GIK Sound Blocks and two GIK 244 Panels with FlexRange.  The Sound Blocks are on the front wall and the 244s are on the back wall.  (There is not adequate room for the Sound Block on the back wall, hence their location.)  Now I seem to have more bass than before.  I had to reduce the level on my two Rel S/812s by one click and am contemplating another click.  Anyone know why I have more bass with the traps than without?

Get those traps into the corners. As others have pointed out, you have shifted the response of the room now. It would help you to run REW and dial in your room using the graphical results.

I made a run once with REW moving the traps inside the front speakers (out of the corners) and it was as if I had not trapped at all. Moving them back into the corners restored the improved room response.
