Hey Glenn, thanks for the reply.

This is only a starting point. You may find that moving forward or back will give you a better response.
i'll move my gear around a bit and see what i can do...

I would recommend that you down load the following program (it is free) to test the room. At that point you can post some graphs for us to see.
Room EQ Wizard Home Page
when using this program...what mic and preamp do i use? i currently have 2 omni mics (jbl lsr series testing mic that may or may not be flat and a telefunken ak47 which definitely is not flat) and i have an assortment of pres, all of which are colored in some way or another (api's, neve's, art mpa, solo 610, and solo 110...the 110 is probably the flattest response). I am just wondering if i'll use a mic and pre, see the results, and be fooled into thinking it represents an accurate picture of what i am dealing with when in fact it might be the coloring of the preamp and mic.

Are you sure you need a sub?
absolutely...i got the jbl's with the 6" drivers not the 8". the moment i hooked up my sub everything in my low end instantly started translating better since i could finally hear what was down there...it wasn't perfect, but it was certainly better.
