Frequencys charted..next step??


Ok, so i just charted out my ht room using the Rives cd and radioshck spl. Looks like my main problem areas are a 200hz and 630hz spike. I went ahead and did a map of the room(as per Rives).

So are these major issues that i should try and correct with room treatments or something that is relatively common and i can leave as is. My room is 25x15, carpeted, drop ceiling(8.75ft). The sound sometimes feels slightly "muddied" in the mid area, not sure if this is related to the problem areas i mentioned.

I am more of a diy kind of person, especially when i look at the cost of room treatments costing more than some of my components. Where do i go from here as far as finding the actual problem areas?

Are the spikes at the main listening position (sweet spot)? How large are the spikes?
Dzigon, Are you taking the measurements from the listening seat (sweet spot)? For the most part that is the most important location. Also, it appears that you have a multi channel set up. Assuming that you have taken the measurements from the sweet spot, have you tried doing the measurement proceedure with only the two stereo channels operating, and then adding the additional channels one at a time to see if there are variances. Perhaps the spikes you mention are aas a result of the placement of the extra channels. How big are the spikes you are finding?
