Well, do some research on Google on that player with those terms, then. I'm not familiar with that player. They can cause the exact issue you are describing, that kind of night mode function may be on. I've noticed it with MPC, which is what I use now for subs, sometimes VLC.
I personally wouldn't want the subs going below -45db. The lower you go, the less impact it can have.
You may need to switch to using masked. If you don't end up having night mode on, you may need to switch as that would show the speakers may be JUST under 20,000khz in usefulness in reality. Regardless of what the specs for it say, which happens sometimes as they figure it's cheaper to make and most people will never be playing something like this to discover the limitation.
