If you blow across an empty Coke bottle, you can get that small chamber to resonate (make that foooooh sound). If you enlarge that chamber to the size of your room, it will still resonate (produce large peaks & dips at certain frequencies).
For your 10' width, the first 5 of those resonant frequencies will be 57Hz, 113Hz, 170Hz, 226Hz, 283Hz. You can cancel the first one by placing your subwoofer at the midpoint of room width. By comparison, the bass trap needed to absorb a peak in the 50Hz range would have to be a couple feet thick. More practical to do it with subwoofer placement.
The other 4 width modes are above the crossover point, so you can't use subwoofer placement to fix them. However, placing your L/R speakers 20 inches in from your side walls (assuming centre speaker is exactly in the middle) will cancel the remaining 4 resonances. This should get you much smoother frequency response across your entire seating area.
