I have positioned my sub and listening position to get the following best room response I can (see graph). However, as you can see it's far from flat. I am waiting for a DSP1124P to arrive at my local music store however, after reading the audio acoustics forum threads, it appears that bass traps would also be very (more?) effective at reducing the dip I have. My questions are:

a) given budget constraints (can only really afford either BFD or DIY bass traps - insulation material is very expensive in Australia), where should I spend my money eq or bass traps?

b) If eq-ing is the better option, where should I place my target (hard-knee) curve? Keep it where it is and try to pull the higher frequencies (eg 52, 62hz) right down? Or, move the target curve up so it falls at the bottom of the line of higher frequencies - touching the 68, 75, 82hz frequencies, then pull the peaks down. The problem with that though is that I'll have a massive dip - so maybe I should go with the room treatments first?

Cheers,
