Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w

Hello everyone, 
     I know this is a long shot but is anyone using the above combination. I am attempting to find the correct balanced crossover. I have 20K RCA, 150K balanced, these do not sound good. I do have the WX2 box but believe it is defective. I have downloaded the Vandertones and am using a multi-meter to check AC voltage at the speaker. None of that matters if I do not have various capacitors to try. 

So.... since I do not know the correct input impedance for this amp, does anyone have one they are using successfully with a 2w series sub-woofer?

PS, the advertised spec I found for the amplifier is 22K single ended. The 20K single ended crossover does not sound or measure correctly. I believe the impedance for the 8008x5 may be different from an 8008. Speakers are Vandersteen 2ci.

Thanks in advance!

@jwmorris ,
No problem. I am glad you have found your solution. 
I am particularly impressed by your ability to make your own crossover.
Please do post some images of it.

on the subject of W vs. WQ I believe the W is more of a slam / bam HT sub, and the WQ is much more accurate.....

You could be referring to the V2W RCA input Dedicated Home theatre sub.
Yesterday running new Vandersteen Sub 3 offers Analog Room Compensation, tuned, linked with Vandy hi pass units dialed in .707  Vandersteen 2 sig IIs all in at 6.2 K at this level I promise not a speaker in sight of 14 K and many others over will get near this thing w hours of love the music.
All who walked in and sat down were smiling and laughing at the soundstage.
