Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position

I guess this is relatively common in listening system. Is there any way to smooth this out so I get more bass energy at my listening position? This happens with our without my 2x 18 inch subs. Room is 12 x 16 x 8 ft, speakers 4.5 ft apart on long axis and I am sitting 4.5 feet away. I tried moving back and forward but the entire middle center of the room except near the walls has decreased bass.
Is this a boundary effect or could it be due to bass cancellation effects?

@Smodtactical, I suggest you purchase a Minidsp. You have already invested a significant amount in your system. The Non-Hd version of the Minidsp is $100. The HD version of the Minidsp is even better and can do more.  

It  appears you are using REW and that is a good thing. REW will generate equalization filters specifically for the Minidsp. You then load them into the system via computer. There are videos on the web to guide you through the process.   

There is a learning curve to all of this. You are getting many suggestions all with good intentions. The bottom line is you have to experiment and learn as you go. Don't give up, and have fun on the journey.
