You want us to tell you how to adjust your EQ? That is not possible unless
you can tell us in words excatly what it sounds like...

Use your ears ... if you can't hear what is right, don't mess with it.

A loudspeaker system for sound reproduction should not have a peaky
response, you do not need to "make" the disco sound, it is "made"
already on the material you play back.

It is not at all simple to suggest a target EQ curve for a system in an
undefined room. If you want to use a "measure" approach, then you should
set the system up and measure it with no eq applied and then assume that
the loudspeakers are well designed and simply even out irregularities on
the response curve while maintaining its general characteristics.

A system in a small room should be 6 dB down at 16 kHz compared to the
level at 200 Hz, and have no peaks above that line, dips below it are
less of an issue. A system in a large room should perhaps have as much
as a 3 dB pr. octave rolloff above 1 kHz to sound balanced. A
loudspeaker system should generally hardly ever be linear on pink noise,
the only possible exception that comes to mind is nearfield monitors in
studio control room acoustics. It is plain not possible to predict what
will sound right for your system in your room, the only general advice
is that peaks should be reduced.

Fine, take care to preserve that fine sense of hearing.

Try with the equalizer bypassed, it may be that the overall most
pleasing sound is obtained by having less electronics active.
