Speaker Tower Subwoofer setup/ sound bleed problem.

[Kraken]

Okay-
So I've had this issue for awhile. No I'm not updating this room setup at this time. I have an older all in one setup running. Now the issue I'm having is the subwoofers are not independent from the R and L speaker- thus one main unit so I can't sit my sub in a corner. The issue I'm having is my subs bleed sound badly behind it. Like the subs sound way better in the room next to them THAN IN the actual room. I've had my neighbor complain thinking I had a drum set. So how can I get my sound to bounce or stay more in the room? Should I build bass traps or get sound proofing?
