How to fix a lack of bass Null

Hi
Have tryed tying all sorts of different key words on Audiogon, until to day did'nt relised, that a room could be affected by a lack of bass, from what I read, this call a null, I have tryed different equipment over the last couple of years as I always thought that my equiment was bass shy. I found this programe on Audiogon called Hunecke speaker calulator, not shore if I am using it properly,It shows a big dip @31.5 - 63 hz and could explain a lake of base at my seating position, I cant seem to be able to move the speaker with the cursor, this is suppose to change speaker location and tell you flatess spot I think if I am reading it right? Do I buy a meter and setup disk? what treaments is there for this problem (Nulls), if this is the case?I google with know real answer's!
Room 5.250L x 4.00W x 2.4H

We haven't actually established it's a null yet. Download some test tones in the 50 Hz area you mentioned, copy it to a CD, not mp3. Play that and walk around the room. If the null is as big as you think, you should notice variations in volume, without a meter. If the volume is consistent throughout the room, you got other problems.

Acoustic treatment in that frequency range is not trivial. However, I once had a hallway closet beside the living room that sucked 90Hz if it was closed. Sounds weird, I know, but I had to open that closet every time.
