This is my best result so far:
Given the house curve target you're using, it's quite good. Not much you can do below 20Hz with a BFD, so you live with that.

The general concensus is that a house curve sounds best when you begin to rise from the crossover down to about 30Hz and then level off from 30Hz down to the bottom end. You're doing just about the opposite of that. Have you tried about a 5dB rise starting at 80Hz and ending at 30Hz.
The housecurve.txt file would be:
30 5.0
80 0.0
That lift you've entered below 30Hz usually translates to a very heavy bottom end.

I encourage you to do the soundcard calibration since it's that area below 20Hz that some cards begin to fall of and the cal file will compensate for a more true picture of your response.....
