That company link that I mentioned having those absorbtion panels at a reasonable price is: Acoustics First
Rutgar... check out filter 5L in the chart above. It shows I boosted 40hz by 12db with a bandwidth of 8/60.
Typically the general rule is to not boost low frequencies and had this been a dip that drastic at 20-30hz I might not have boosted it. It also depends on what it sounds like after I boost it. In my previous setup I tried boosting a 50hz area and it sounded terrible and didn't get rid of the dip. I could tell that 50hz boost was putting a strain on the sub amp. In my current set up the boost at 40hz doesn't sound bad at all and it actually did get rid if the dip with no evidence of strain on the sub amp.
I would probably never say don't boost at all but rather try it and see how it sounds and see if the boost creates any strain on the sub amp or any other weird noises. I would also want to see what effect it has on other frequencies as well.
