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.

Ok, good luck.  the first 10 posts in that "The Emporium" section are just static pinned threads for rules/faq/etc.  You have to scroll down further to get to the actual items for sale.

I've never had great let alone decent results bi-amping my speakers even using 4 channels out of 5 on my audio refinement multi 5 amp. I do bi wire all on the speaker end with Tekton 6.5t monitors in the past and currently ProAc Studio 148 mini towers.

OK so today I got some improvements. I got the good caps from Modwright and installed in my KAW 100SE. That sings sweet now. I had the woofer amp plugged into a power conditioner, I plugged them directly into the wall. I worked with the Xo points/slopes and now it's beginning to sound much better. Not perfect but it has come a long way. Now i still have some caps Dan sent me to install on the LS100 that he says will improve the bass response. I'll do that tomorrow.
Stay tuned :)
