If you use subs the smartest thing you can do is make bass traps for each corner. This will help considerably. No modal ringing plus it flattens the response. Without them bass normally isn't nearly as musical in my experience.

Electronic equalization with a sub is also good as the bass region is where the very large dips and peaks occur. Digital equalization like the Behringer DEQ 2496 will help alot especially if you cannot install bass traps for whatever reason.

Without all of the bass music doesn't have it's foundation. To my ears something is obviously missing and I find it distracting. Honest bass can make a good system much better.
