Ethan Wanna shed some light?

Just wanted to have the best understanding of this possible as far as next step how to use this particular information to make my life easier.

The only issue I found is that my room is not completely square or completely rectangle. So I entered an avg on the length.

not Ethan, but pretty easy question.
Broad band bass traps in as many corners as possible.

Troy,
No biggy at all please ask away.
Yes broad band will absorb across most of the frequencies.

With that said I think My ears have taken me as far as they can... Has anyone here used Room EQ Wizard? How does it work in comparison to Some of the upper end programs like SIM II?

I have been looking at some of the output graphs from Room EQ Master and I am seeing nothing over 200hz is that all it reads from 10hz to 200hz?

Room EQ wizard is a great program and easy to use.

It allows you to also calibrate your speakers with pink noise.

It is a great tool for check ing the lowend response in your room .

You need an SPL meter and one or two flat-response, omni mics with software like Room EQ Wizard, right?
