well, often shops are willing to help you w/ that kind of stuff.
if you're concerned, and dialing bass and treble down, then just lower the amp gains.... move the amp gain down to something around... say (guesstimating a number) 17 V and see if that helps. you may also want to see if lowering the level on the LOC (Line Output Converter) improves the sound quality as well.
do you have a EJ near you? trying to think who might live in Washington....

Although your math is correct, your "tuning" methods are wrong. The way you are doing it, will probably result in clipping.
Do it the right way.
1)Set gains to 0.
2)Put headunit loudest you will ever put it...on alpine, I like 25.
3)Turn up gains, slowly until you hear distortion (clipping)
4)Back the gains off a bit.
5)Pop open a beer.
6)Repeat step 5 as necessary.
