Well yeah, but that's kinda time consuming. I would rather you press the 'save as jpg' button on the REW graph and post it as an image as I've done below - then everyone can discuss....
Makes sense - will do that in the future.

Anyway, your response of the sub is easily BFD'd. I attached a quick set of filters where I only added one more than REW recommended and then optimized. Simply don't use manual. Make all filters AUTO. It works fine.
I'm still confused about the Auto filters. I'll play with it some more and see what I can figure out. Perhaps I am not following the procedure correctly? Any idea what issue I may have been hitting where I was adding Auto filters, then telling it to optimize, and it was removing my filters I added?

What about the dip at 53hz? Should I add a manual filter to try bringing that up a few dB? Same for the smaller dips and peaks? For instance is it helpful at 20hz, 31hz and 37hz to add a narrow filter to bring these down a few dB? And perhaps push up 72hz a couple dB? I recall seeing graphs you've posted of your HSU and the line looks perfectly smooth around the target. Then again you are the master!

The mains plus sub is another story.

Yea I'm not sure what happened there. I was playing with lots of things back and forth and it was late. That likely was mains only. I'll work that out.

My plan from here is to first get the bass only equalized. Then I'll add the mains back in and see what it all measures together. From there I'll tweak it some more. Too bad I don't have any EQ control over the fronts for its bass. I could get limited control via its graphic EQ but then I'd lose its parametric EQ functions which I need for the high end.
