 You also need to reset the sub levels with your standard receiver speaker level setup to ensure the sub level is now correct after eq'ing. |

Other reasons why it might sound “thin:” You might need to turn the sub up, since you did such a substantial dial-down of the 45-Hz peak.

For the time being, I agree that you should recheck your levels and probably even run your sub hot for a while just to ween you in on more accurate bass. |
I'm hearing a loud echo... so I'll just ditto the above.
You do realize you cut your bass by 20db or more when you cut that peak? That is an awful lot, so yeah... no doubt it will sound weak. In case no one else has mentioned it... turn your bass up and up and up...

I think what you're experiencing is standard fare once you stop listening to the so called "one note bass". |

Absolutely, most people are accustomed to innacurate bass. |

Also, your house curve may not be steep enough. And I suggest shelving it at 30 Hz or so – you have it shelved at around 45 Hz, which is pretty high.

We experienced this exact situation this weekend. Walter preferred the bass when it had a peak at 30-35Hz, most likely because he's use to listening to car stereo's for so long. Even Rodny preferred it over the flat response. I was able to give them back most of what they were missing with a house curve shelved at about 35Hz.
It is truly amazing at how much I have come to appreciate a flat response after listening to it for hours on end (with music especially). I hardly ever listen to many CDs, but I do watch quite a few DVD concerts. I have come to prefer the flatter response over the house curve. But I'd have to say the house curve will definitely give you back some of that low end you are missing, provided you level match your sub with your speakers....
