You can't really "plug holes" specifically unless you use some sort of room correction software like DEQX or a Tact processor.

I would just assume you need bass trapping and you need to deal with first reflections.

As for general info. Ethan's site has tons of info and links to more.

As a first step a few bass traps is a great way to go. Don't worry, you WILL hear an improvement.

Investigate a product called Room EQ Wizard.  It's a free program for the PC that's MUCH easier than taking individual measurements with a meter. You need a mic and a full duplex soundcard.  For starters, you can even use the meter's built in mic.

Measuring before treatment is more for placement of speakers, sub, and seating.  After that, you're wanting to look more at the remaining peaks and nulls, identify them based on what's causing them, and address those issues.  Also, you need to look at overall decay time across the spectrum.  Those will be addressed in most cases by broadband bass control and a series of reflection point panels.

Vinay,

> how do i measure the acoustics in the room to figure out which holes i would need to plug? <

See this article on our site:

It explains a lot about this. Though as Bryan said, the REW program is similar and is also free.

There's also a very large number of purely informational articles and videos on our site. Hey, what else do you have to do on a Saturday afternoon?
