Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed


I have been happily using a pair of Vandy 2Wq subs with single-ended M5-HP crossovers for a few years now. My system was dialed in the way I like it (bass a bit on the full side, but still tight and defined). I just had my amplifier repaired and upgraded, and the new input impedance is 22k ohms vs. the 10k ohms before the upgrade. I followed the Vandersteen recommendation for the jumper settings in the M5-HP (6 and 7 only, "on" or not open), and the bass is just about MIA altogether. As per the Vandy web site, I disregarded the chart on the case of the M5-HP and followed the chart on the web site.  Because I am an idiot, I didn’t bother to mark down the settings of the jumpers prior to changing them. Anybody have any suggestions for me that will restore the bass? I am pretty sure the issue is the jumper settings. Thanks in advance!

@bailyhill great ! The new 3 is killer

the Apogee stage work quite well with the now discontinued model 2 sub, so you should have no issues :-) enjoy the music 
great call talking to RV

have to triple emphasize gdnrbob input on double boxing !
The DBS battery has zip to do with output
they bias or form the dialectric and are not in the circuit

a dead battery will effect sound but not volume 

you have other issues
