I hope this post finds all of this community safe during these troubled times.
Music has certainly done much to keep my spirit going.

Sheltered in place, I have a bit of time for the next set of optimizations of my speakers.
Background
I have configured a pair of Hypex Fusion FA123 plate amplifiers using the Hypex software. I have now tri-amplified my speakers & they sound great or at least better in almost every respect to the prior iteration of the system.
I have currently set up 2nd order crossovers.
I have had it suggested to me that 4th order would work even better, but I frankly don't have a clue about implementing them with the Hypex amps.
Any suggestions or context about trade-offs one way or another appreciated.
Equalization
I do think I have something to gain by applying the Hypex equalization capabilities.
To prepare to do this, I have assembled the following:
What do I do now?
Clearly outside my knowledge base, but I have the time to follow guidelines and do any required research.
Any guidance appreciated.

ECM8000 Measurement Condenser Microphone
2 USB cables (Fusion - usb - laptop & UMC22 - usb - laptop)
1 Analog cable (UMC22 - analog to fusion)

Check out this thread... It has helped me quite a bit.

I relied heavily on:
but it doesn't address equalization as far as I remember.
I think Hypex added the feature to its configuration software.
Even a good general approach to how to think about doing it would help.

It's the boost/cut biquad function on page 18 of the manual (v 4.95). Also a 4e other LR is described in detail on page 28.. The manual also shows how to use a microphone to do measurements.
