Is my amp the problem?

I recently decided to bi-amp my speakers so I purchased a crown xls 1002. (225w 8 ohm). I am driving a 10 woofer. It sounds horrible. I can't seem to get it to put out much power despite its rating even when I make all the right adjustments. Its a class D amp. Is that my problem? It just doesn't seem to have any Ba**s. Lol. Advice is appreciated.

More info is needed. What model is the other amp; what preamp are you driving the two amps with; is there an electronic crossover "ahead" of the amps; if there is no electronic crossover how is the preamp connected to each amp (e.g., XLR or RCA); what speaker is it; does "10 woofer" mean 10 ohms or 10 inches? Does the bass weakness seem to occur at any volume level, or just at high volume levels?

modwright kwa 100se, modwright ls100, mindsp XO, rca connections, 10 inch woofer (Dayton RS270), seems like a sensitivity issue does not have weight to the low end.
