For setting gain on your full range you do not adjust the eq, you leave it flat. After that you tailor the sound to your liking. As for the sub amp, it has a bass adjustment at your fingertips. The stronger the signal it gets the easier it is for it to reach it's optimum output. 45Hz is the midpoint of it's operating range so why would you not want that frequency at it's maximum input.Generally they are used to create a flat response
As for that rogue 45Hz wave waiting to pounce, I have never heard of it. Maybe in a subpar headunit but all the radios I have seen have defeatable curves.
That reminds me; some manufacturers have gone as far as adding a dedicated subwoofer output channel. Would it not be best to max that for setting the gain?
I am sure if OP maxes the bass in the radio's eq, he will easily reach the desired voltage with zero negative consequences.
TBH, I do see your point of view. I am not being obstinate but am just operating on a proven method which has yet to fail me.
