Based on Wayne's Minimal EQ and Target levels post I've an example per that doctrine and wanted to get opinions if I'm following it and more importantly getting the expected results.
From Wayne's post:

Optimize REW filters for response smoothing
First, REW calibrate for the standard 75 dB Target in the Settings panel. Take your measurement sweep, then adjust your viewing window for a 20-130 dB setting, using the Graph Limits box (top right of screen), so that your response curve doesn’t look so scary.
Next, re-adjust the Target Level to a good midway point between your response peaks and depressions - or if possible, align the Target to where it most closely tracks the bulk of your response curve.
Under Trace Adjustments, set the Smoothing option to 1/3-octave, which will help induce REW to focus more on the most serious problems instead of the minor ones. Then under Filter Tasks, limit the Find Peaks range to a bit below your crossover point. The response you’re seeing close to the crossover frequency is most likely duplicated by the mains, so it’s to no effect to equalize up there. (Of course, this needs to be verified by comparing graphs for sub only, mains only, and both together.)

The graph showed (sub only, axis and target line set with 1/3 smoothing per Wayne's recomendation) reports no peaks found when I select the find peaks option.
Can this be correct? Would you add some gain filters around where the graph dips a little?
BTW - the sound is not bad except it seems a little bass heavy - a little more than I care for when playing Wayne's recomended Basia CD as a test.
Thanks,
Mike
