They do, but only do about 5% of the job needed. The problem is standing waves in the room. Tube traps work at certain frequencies by absorbing energy in such a way that the standing wave (usually a null, which is more annoying) is weakened.
But if you want to be serious about this, the thing to do is to break up the standing waves with subwoofers. Since your speakers already make deep bass, IMO/IME you really only need two subs. They must be asymmetrically placed ( in my room, one is to the left of the listening position while the other is to the rear) and not allowed to reproducing anything above 80Hz (else they will attract attention to themselves). You'll find this a far more effective means than tube traps. Once the subs are installed, you'll also find the tube traps to be more effective and useful. To be clear this isn't about emphasizing the bass as it is breaking up standing waves. On doing this, when the bass is right, you may also find the mids and highs to be more relaxed.
One of the better passive subs I've encountered is made by
Audiokinesis. Normally sold in groups of 4, this sub is unlike any other I've seen in that its designed to be placed directly against the wall; handy if you have limited space options.
