mancub1,
Since you have 4 subs, and if those subs are positioned properly in your room, there’s absolutely no need for any microphones, room analysis/correction software, room treatments, prayer, chants, higher power involvement, snake oil or voodoo whatsoever to achieve exceptional bass response throughout your room without any perceived boominess. IMO, your issue with boomy bass is a direct result of randomly placing your subs one in each corner.
No worries, there’s a guaranteed setup procedure that will result in exceptionally good bass response throughout your entire room. Only downsides are it’ll require a few hours and it’s best done with a helper to share lifting duties and help decide on optimum positioning of each sub. Here’s the procedure:
1. Place sub#1 (the one currently in your front right corner) at your normal listening position and play music with solid and consistent bass.
2. Starting at the front right corner of your room, walk slowly right-to-left along the front wall until the bass sounds the best to you. Once this optimum spot is determined, position sub#1 at that exact location.
3. Place sub#2 (the one currently in your front left corner) at your normal listening position and play the bass-heavy music again.
4. Starting at the newly positioned sub#1, walk leftward along your front wall until the bass sounds best to you. Once the optimum spot is determined, position sub#2 at that exact location.
5. Repeat this process for subs #3 and #4 and then sit at your normal listening position and evaluate bass response listening to the same music. If you do not perceive the bass response as exceptional once this setup procedure has been completed, you’ll unfortunately need to repeat the entire setup since 1 or more subs were incorrectly positioned. Be aware that exact positioning is critical and even small errors affect results.
This is admittedly a tedious process but results are well worth the effort. I’ll spare you all the scientific basis for this procedure but you can google Dr. Earl Geddes and Dr. O’Toole on in-room bass response research. if you’re interested.
The main requirements for great bass response in any room is at least 3 subs and careful sub deployment.
