Generally isn't the room gain noticed more when the speaker is closer to a boundary such as a wall? For instance, subwoofer response will generate more room gain in a corner than in the middle of the room.
Yes, exactly.

Also:

Bass traps can do a good job down to 50 or 60 Hz if you have enough of them. Below that you could use EQ to reduce the last peak or two a bit, but I'd never try to EQ a null, nor would I use EQ much above 60 Hz.
