Should I up the output on the processor? how would that impact the BFD's ability to process? THen, assuming I need to turn DOWN the volume on the subs to compensate again, would I also need to remeasure and recalibrate the filters after this adjustment?

Seems to me the answer would be "no"
That's correct. You could simply turn up the receiver sub trim output and then dial down the sub amp a bit. The sub amp level, you could set with the standard test tones in your receiver or by listening.

Our normal recommendation for the sub trim level adjust is to play a bass heavy movie scene (or movie scenes) and have the receiver as loud as you would ever have it, and then set the sub trim of the receiver to just see red LEDs flicking once in a while. That's it really. Then you know it won't regularily be clipping. Normal listening levels won't be that high, but you need to test the max you'll ever likely have it set to.
