Bass traps (at least the more linear ones) placed in the corners, will damp all room modes to some extent, and thus will smooth out your response in room, including your problem frequencies (which are sucked out probably even more due to peaks on either side).

You don't tune resistive bass traps, or velocity absorbers (big panels or lumps of absorbant material out in the room or on the wall) and Helmholtz resonators, which are tuned to a specific frequency, are too fussy about the exact frequency, and can often do more harm than good.

Some links given in my post, and most of the articles at those URLs' contain further web based references and URL's.

Your closet is probably not doing that much to the FR in the room, or to the sound, unless the door itself is resonating, then if it were, I would seek out a solid core door.
