It appears to me that your sub is generating substantial output above the nominal crossover point and that it is exciting room modes at 100Hz and at 50 Hz. Your room is fairly small, right?
In addition, it appears that the output of the sub itself falls off pretty quickly below about 35 Hz. In fact, I wonder hot flat this sub's response really is, even within its operating range. My guess is that it has a peak of its own between 40 and 50 Hz -- not unexpected with a small sub that has limited bass extension. The peak will make buyers feel like they're getting something for their money.
I think your setting is about as good as you're going to get (assuming the crossover point can not be adjusted below an indicated 40 Hz) without resorting to the use of an expensive parametric equalizer like what is available from Behringer. A 4 db bump is not too bad, really.
