Yes, I meant right side, not right speaker per say.
The problem is because your room is not symmetrical and that's not going to change. And the whole purpose of using the mains for bass is because you got the new carpet + speaker spikes? If there is no boominess with sub-woofer, then you are just introducing a problem in your system by enforcing bass through mains.
whether you use spikes or put the bass through mains or use subwoofer does not matter. Let your ears decide which option sounds the best and go for that.
As for locking the bass in dead center by using mains, then it does not matter below 80Hz because those frequencies are not localizable. That's why a sub can be placed anywhere in the room.
