My current head unit settings:
Treble -1
Mids 0
Bass -1
I'd guess you'll land close to this.

If you're talking hardware settings vee's setup is in here somewhere. As for mine I turned the HU bass down a bit further than -1. I love bass but like overpowering mids/highs for some reason.

hahaha that i can tweak by ear but my question was in regards to the lc2i what setup are your running in regards to the dials on the lc2i, etc. etc. thanks again in advance

Veedoubleme - what did you set the crossover and lp slope filter at on your xd300? I still need to fiddle with it, I was just wondering what conclusion you came to. I don't want to set it up like a home theater sub (ie like 60hz) because the door speakers don't have that much oomph at those frequencies..

LP slope is at 24 dB and crossover was initially set at 60, but I think I turned it up a little bit. You'll have to play with that one to see if you like the sound.
I can confirm the nulls at ~25 and ~70 in-phase. I have the 4ohm version of the sub:
These are my first ever measurements, and first time using REW. Uber noob. I'll post out of phase next, and remove HPF on the sub (20Hz @ 36db). I'll start a separate thread thread for when I start individual speaker measurements and trying to smooth out the response.

When I tried the sub out of phase with HPF removed, I could tell right away that the sub was hitting much harder, however the mic says that its not playing as low as I was expecting. Can anyone explain?:

I have the sub crossed at 60Hz @36db, and the mids at 60Hz @24db. I have tried a crossover @80Hz, but the bass felt missing (I could measure that previous setup quickly if anyone's interested
). I'm using aftermarket speakers (no rears) and a DSP by the way. Before I got the sub, I felt like my aftermarket door speakers could play satisfactorily low, but I was worried about damaging them, and my door would resonate and sound ugly. I'm trying to let the sub carry the low frequenies, but I didn't realize that it would be such a narrow band (35Hz-60Hz) for such a cost ($250enclosure+$80sub+$250amp+$100install).

I've checked and the settings on the amp are correct. I would also guess that I have about 50hrs on the sub. Playing down to 35Hz is plenty and excellent considering its a shallow mount sub and was only $80.
Here is a new graph with 80Hz crossover applied, and all EQ settings reset. I am anxious to start EQing, so I'm just going to use these plots of L vs R to try and EQ each speaker. I'll stop hijacking now.

Did a little bit of tuning today -> flat-ish bass. Red = Left:
