EQ setting

If cash is tight you can use a Rat Shack meter and a cd with tones to get a general idea of where your dips and peaks are. No it isn't the same as using high dollar eqipment but you can get pretty good results. If nothing else it will give you a good starting point for tuning.

If you have a laptop or access to a laptop.. 

You can buy a Behringer ECM8000 mic ($47)

a Behringer UB802 to power it ($55)

and an RTA PROGRAM such as True RTA. Get the 1/6 octave version not because of the amount of bands, but because of the PC calibration feature, you will need this if you want an accurate reading. It takes any info that your laptop and mic are creating on their own out of the equation. ($69)

 

 

This is very accurate and cheap if you have a laptop. You will need a 1/8 jack to dual RCA connector and a mic cable as well.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Why do that? Pink noise is already compensating for the rolloff. That is just introducing an emphasised bottom end. Not my cup of tea, that is for sure.
