Horrible bass cancellation at 110 Hz in my studio

My room has a horrible dip at 110 hz, i know its quite a small room 7 by 8.5 feet, which may be the issue but i have followed reasonable guidelines for proper acoustic treatment, bass traps, position of subwoofer and all. If anyone has any ideas how to take out the dip id appreciate it, thanks!

I can't really see how bad the dip is or how you are set up but a few things you can try.

1) You should measure one speaker at a time to see the response, so it could be problems with the set up itself.
2) You could try moving forward/back/side to side to see if the null starts to go away.
3) More proper bass trapping in the corners.

Thanks for your response, I will try to adjust positions of the setup, I forgot to mention something important, my backwall has a medium glass window with treatment to the sides, that will be something hard to fix.

It may or may not be a the problem. Start with the things I pointed out first.

Some threads you might find useful if trying to track the cause for dips:

Making sense of modes, standing waves and bass traps
