Clayton is no longer at Spatial. I have no idea why that amp didn’t work. On paper it was a great match and the Decware drove a pair of khorns like there was no tomorrow.

I’d be careful matching fleawatt amps with Spatial speakers. I had the x3 with powered subs and 96 db. You would think, easy to drive? A Decware Torii II @ 30 wpc wasn’t up to the task.

Considering a Second Subwoofer for the Front
Since my last post was removed, let’s try this again. What in the H E double toothpicks is a bucket sub? Can we see an example of this beast?   Your OP was very vague and cryptic. You should provide more details if it’s really advice you are aft...
