Because of some request, I decided to write a little tutorial about flattening your FRFR-monitors.
My english isnt the best one, maybe a mod can correct it afterwards?!
Some pictures I post here are made by "Black_Bender" of the recording.de-Forum.

First of all, what you need:
-Room EQ Wizard V5:
You can get it from here:
REW - Room EQ Wizard Home Page
Registration is required. For executing the REW, Java has to be installed. java.com: Java + You
-A reference microphone
An example of a cheap reference mic is the Behringer ECM8000. An advantage of the ECM8000 is, you can download a calibration file from it on the REW page. I'll return to this later.

- A audio interface
It dosent have to be the really best one, but you also shouldn't use the onboard soundcard. Phantom power is required for the Behringer ECM8000.
The positioning:
Its very important to position your mic in the middle of the axis of the 15" driver and the tweeter. (The 15" are only an example, it depens on your monitor)
Firstly start messuring with a distance of 20cm. Then make 10cm-steps up to 100cm.
Connect the reference mic with your soundcard to input Left and enable the phantom power.
Installation and default preferences
Install REW V5 on your computer. Maybe in the default path: "C:\program files\Room EQ Wizard V5"
Run REW V5 and click "Preferences"
Set the samplerate of your audio interface to 48kHz. Then transfer the preferences like on the picture below: (Of corse choose your soundcard and I/O. Set the samplerate to 48kHz too, not like in the picture!!!
If your using the Behringer ECM8000, choose the Calibrationfile on "Mic/Meter":
