IMO, it’s a bit difficult to use REW for this, and it really isn’t REW’s intended purpose. The usual methods for blending subs and mains – Avia, Video Essentials, or simply using receiver-generated test tones w/ SPL meter - all work fine.

I've got Video Essentials, but I've always found it difficult to use, with confusing menus. But I'm willing to persist

I think using a SPL meter isn't a good idea, because you've just set up the sub with a variable response (sloping target based on your ear , not your SPL meter). Using a meter or VE, you would have to guess how much higher the sub would have to be set against the mains using pink noise.

BUT, checking the sub against the mains using REW, you should be able to see how smooth the Xover is - shouldn't you?
