Something doesn't seem right here; the 225 wpc should drive the bass driver well. Is this an open baffle design, which might account for the disappointment in low end. More info needed.
While the Crown may be poor quality there should be plenty of bass happening. I suspect something else wrong. I concur with Al that it may be in the setup. Even a poorer amp will not sound "horrible" or unlistenable when set up correctly. A profound lack of bass and horrible sound is evidence something is way off track. I suspect mis-wiring in the system.
