Wouldn't this only result in my having to turn the volume up higher to get the same result, and inevitably, the same dimming problem?

I like the way my stereo sounds now as is. I can keep the volume low and still feel the bass, and if I wanna jam I can do that too. I listen to music mostly at a normal level, but I do admit I get a wild hair every now and then.

Although I have contemplated turning the gain down on the amplifier a bit. Somwhere between 50 and 75% probably. This is a 500Wrms Sub, and a 500Wrms amp.

I will experiment more with my bass boost and EQ adjustments though and see if I may be able to find a compromise in the works somewhere. thanks for the advice
