Rooms with concrete walls suffer from very strong room modes because the walls are rigid and there is almost no damping. They can also be very reflective at middle and high frequencies. For that reason, when people install sound systems in basements where all sides are concrete, it is best to install acoustic wedges or other absorbent treatments and panel dampers on the walls to damp room modes. Multiple subs are always a good idea too.
