thanks for all your suggestions

so far i have moved them back toward the wall, now they're about 8 inches from the wall, and i moved them a bit closer together, but not by much.

bass response is much better but still not what it used to be.

i know it's not my amp because where i used to live the room was a tad smaller but the bass ouput was much higher.

i'll keep trying moving htem around

thanks again
