The way a ReQ works is it fixes the bass roll off that some OEM HU have, by sensing voltage differences and correcting them to bring the output back up, But because this is a system with a sub already there wont be any roll off on that channel. So if you are hooking up to that channel the only thing that needs to be "fixed" is the signal level.

So long story short the tech is right, if you have a non sub channel car, but with having a sub channel it's not needed, in this case.
And yes if you are adding to the system, as you are, hook up everything. But the OP just wants better bass.
Ok that makes sense, why wouldn't you connect the full range input for a customer. Would seem to be lazy not too, only takes a few minutes and gives more output options to the customer. How about the smart engage will that work properly without the fullrange input?

If someone installed a RE-Q for me and I had to go back and get them to hook it all up that would make me very unhappy.
