recording nylon stringed guitar

Hi,
I've got a set up at home using two mics on booms to record my steel string guitar. I aim one mic at the lower bout behind the bridge with the mic aimed slightly away from the sound hole and the other aimed at about where the neck joins the body again aimed slightly away from the sound hole. The mics are about 12 inches (30 cm) away from the guitar. And this works fairly well. However, when I try to record my nylon string guitar - especially fairly loud strumming, I just get a bunch of booming. I've tried re-aiming the mics and moving away back but so far not very satisfactorily.

Does anyone have any help to offer for classical/flamenco guitar recording?

thanks,
Doug
