Hello.
I have 4 sealed Rythmik subs connected to a miniDSP 4x10HD. I implemented MSO and the improvement in sound is very noticeable, however the measured in-room response is quite different from the simulation on MSO.
Here's the MSO screen: 3 measurements at the main, left and right listening positions. Displayed are the before MSO optimization and predicted optimized response. My subs xo at 60Hz with steep xo such that they drop to no amplitude by 80Hz. The predicted optimization is very flat from 20 thru 80Hz.
I installed the biquads on the miniDSP, and while the response is better than the baseline responses displayed above, they are far from being as flat as MSO predicted. This is a measurement of the full system (showing 15 thru 100Hz only), measured at the main listening position:
I'm hoping experienced users might be able to provide tips to figuring this out. Or can point me to a better forum to ask for this? I've noticed surprisingly few mentions to MSO here so might not be the best place to ask?
Thanks in advance!

Are you independently happy with the locations of these subs for their potential to act on the modes?
Yes, as happy as I can be given the constraints. The listening room is also the living room and dining room in an apartment, both divided by a folding door. Overall the room is 10 x 5m and the folding door divides in halves at 5m.
The subs are located in the front left and right of the living-room (behind the speakers) and the back left and right are under the end tables at both sides of the 3-person sofa, so as nearfield as possible to the seating locations.
There is a fair amount of bass trapping in the front and back wall and ceiling, behind "cloth walls".
