I've been following the house curve discussions, and sort of thought of an easy way to incorporate one. Now, this question requires a "general" answer, and is in no way thought to be looking for scientific fact.
It seems intuitive that two facts are present:
1. House curve seems to me to be defined as a gradual 10 db or so decrease in volume fro 20hz to 80ish.
2. The Rat Shak meter has a built in reading error of approximately this same thing.
Here's the question: To get a "general" house curve, wouldn't it be easiest to calibrate your sub with an eq/BFD so that it is flattest as possible WITHOUT applying SPL meter correction values?
Sure this may result in 1-2 db difference at a given frequency from doing it the "pain in the ass" way, but wouldn't one get generally the same result? Just think how much faster the process would be via this method.
