Your resonant peaks (read: room modes and standing waves) are caused by the low frequencies interacting with the room and the environment. If you have speakers in a room you will have room modes. All listening rooms are faced with this challenge.
You will never be able to completely eliminate the peaks but you can tame them. You must first understand that your SPL meter is NOT accurate at low frequencies, but as I'm sure you have experienced, you can get a good idea of where the modes are by watching the meter and keeping your ears open. Sounds like you are in need of some bass traps at the very least. What size is your room? What is in the room? This information would allow me to help you a bit more.
