Def. start here. Especially since you probably don't have other options as far as room and gear. These two are essential even with high end gear and great rooms.
If you don't have an LDC to use in tandem on the kick, or a subkick to use, try this:
Create an aux track in your DAW, place a gate that can be keyed externally and then a signal generator with a (sine?) wave at around 60hz. Use the recorded kick drum to key the gate and you'll have sub frequencies to blend with your mic'd track. Adjust the frequency according to the song and drum, and also adjust the attack and decay times on the gate.
