I'll do my assigned homework and play with those filter recommendations, as soon as I figure out how.
I'm assuming that you saved the measurement that you posted here as an .mdat file? If not you'll have to measure it again and then use Ctrl-S or File->Save Measurement so you can load it back in later. To load a saved file you can use Ctrl-O or File->Open Measurement File.

Either way once your graph is on the screen you can either click the EQ Filters button on the right side of the top toolbar, or just press Ctrl-Shift-Q. I guess I should mention before you do that, check the Equalizer menu and make sure that BFD Pro DSP1124P is selected. You can pick a different equalizer if that's what you'd intend to buy, but the filter settings I gave you were intended for this one.

Anyways from the EQ Filters window you should play around with adding filters and see what they do to your graph. The two I suggested might be a reasonable start, and with some fine tuning you'll probably tweak in something better. Make sure it's set to Manual Control and PA type and just have some fun. REW will show a dashed line estimate of the filter's effects as long as you have the "corrected" line checked below the graph so you should post a shot of how it turns out once you're happy.

I can remember in my college days trying to calculate appropriate filter bandwidths by hand after having spent hours running test tones at 1 Hz intervals and plotting it all in Excel. It almost makes you want to cry seeing how easy this whole process has become.
