Every room will have nodes and antinodes , areas where bass waves clash and combine to a peak or clash and combine to a trough .. a suckout
The room being square and small makes this worse , thats what the resonance and boom is .. rather than the floor
don't waste your time on the floor .. cure the nodes
The best way to cure them is also free , sit in a neutral position (10x more effective than moving speakers) if you can
if you cant change the sitting position
My suggestion is to try parametric eq
download a trial of J river
Use the DSP studio in it , the parametric eq
Use a Q of 2 , use -6db attenuation and slide the centre frequ from 30-100 hz as you listen in your chair
You will soon hear where the boom is and how effective the eq is at removing it
Ideally you want to buy a Umik-1 calibrated mic ($80) and use REW room eq wizard (free) to measure at listening position..to show you exactly where the peaks are so you can correct them
