I did use a peaky gain filter the other day, and there was terrible audible ringing, even though my sub measured flat.
So if you had a peaky gain filter engaged and it measured flat in the room, then at the point of the peaky filter, the room was at a dip of equal intensity. Doesn't matter which device you use, adding gain like that is not a good idea. You may well have run out of headroom in the DSP.

Of course, once I get the DEQ in place and everything running, there would be no harm in doing a test to see if it improves things over the full frequency spectrum.
I think you already know the results of that experiment..
