Don't worry about what the sensitivity setting on the back of the woofer reads. Sounds like you have it about right with the impedence matching and the woofer level adjusted to suite your room.
After you get it dialed in get the fixed X-2 filters in the value you liked best to get rid of the WX-2 like I have or buy some model 5 filters like Sdcampbell uses.
You might try listening to a test disc like the one Stereophile produced with bass warble tones just to give you a reference point for level.Pop and Rock Recordings vary wildly these days as to the amount of bass, so use the best acoustic bass recording you have for the final level and setting evaluation. I like a Bobo Stenson Trio disc, titled "War Orphans" on ECM, track 2. You will still find recordings that sound "heavy" after you are done, I think it is the recordings and probably not your rig.
I'm going to try an ASC bass accelerator sub stand for mine, which should give me even more clarity and punch in the lows. ASC Tube traps would be next but I don't have it in the budget. Make sure that you have good isolation under all your electronics ecpecially the source components. Vibrapods are a good start or a Bright Star Air Mass or Big Rock would be even better. It will clean up everything and give you real athority in the bass. Two 2Wq's are going to move air like crazy and make real isolation critical especially if you run tube amps and pre amps.
