One should not have to apply more than one filter to correct a resonance at one frequency if the room is doing its job! My belief is if you have to apply multiple filters for a narrow frequency spike or bump, it's the room or a very poorly designed sub driver or enclosure "ringing". Granted it still has to be corrected for the system to sound "right" but not multiple filters.
My degree is in EE not acoustics as well - but even if you design a room you cannot guarentee not getting multiple modes at one frequency or a narrow band because rooms are never perfectly square nor built to precise dimensions. Higher order modes are dense & sensitive to small differences in planned and actual construction.

You don't need multiple filters to correct - you can just put a big notch in for low frequencies if you want.
