If you have an active 2 way crossed at 1k. You take it outside and make an active crossover. Then you set it up in your room and take some measurements at the MLP. You see a peak or dip at 1k. How do you EQ that?
Should you eq each driver equally? Wouldn’t a passive speaker in the same situation apply equal eq to each driver? Or half the eq for each driver. Or does a passive crossover distribute the incoming signal in a way that distributes eq in a biased way?
Compensating for the room you would rather EQ the signal globally, so if you can't fix the problem acoustically, start there.
There are certain circumstances where I would EQ each driver individually but this is more than I could describe in a single post. One of the reasons is, once you set up your crossover correctly there are few reasons you would want that to change.

So maybe a minidsp running flat feeding dsp amps for the crossover. Then back into the minidsp for in room eq? Or AVR for in room Eq.
I can’t think of a solution if you only had dsp amps fed by an un-eq-able signal.

In that case you could emulate global EQ by applying the same filters to both amps. Keep track of which is which.
Minidsp SW allows the user to eq signal before it's shared to xo channels in matrix mixer. But the designer naturally first makes the speaker flat by eq'ing individual drivers, room corrections are done with that "perfect" speaker afterwards.
