Re: I suck at EQ's help me out.
Usually you want to use the source that has the best settings and adjust it there. Essentially the EQ in the head unit will give you more adjustability. I don't know anything about the gear you have so my response may be a bit vague.
Most amps will have a gain and crossover settings. Some will have a "Bass Boost", I'd leave that off. Also turn the LOUD option off in the headunit. Check to see if your headunit has a low-pass crossover for the sub output. If so then you will probably be fine doing all the adjustments from there. It'll be easier to fine tune. If you go this route I'd start with the sub amp gain about 75-80% and the crossover all the way to the highest setting (200-250hz). If not set your LP crossover on the amp in the 80hz range and tweak from there.
Now I'm a big fan of a volume control just for the subwoofer, a lot of sub amps have them. Some HUs have this option built-in. I constantly dial in the bass level according to the music I listen to and the mood I'm in.
