Is there something wrong with my amplifier?

[QUOTE="Trepkos, post: 3417067, member: 577103"] [B]Amp Settings:[/B] Level - Highest(0.2v) Bass EQ - 0 Phase - 0% Subsonic - 15hz LPF - 50-59hz area. Remote Bass Boost - "Minimum" [B]HU EQ Settings:[/B] Sub-w - 0 db Bass - 0 db Treble - 0 db Mid - 0 db [B]Ipod EQ:[/B] Off DMM probing the speaker outputs and playing a test tone which covers the 50-59hz range. DMM is showing '0.3" voltage, on a Hifonics Txi1008d Class D amplifier with 1000.1@1-ohms, the voltage rating should be around the 31-32.0 area. But the only way to get near that level is turn the Bass boost to maximum which brings the voltage to 35, but to make sure I haven't set the LPF to a higher or lower frequency I also tried 30-49hz and 60-89hz and the output was highest on the 50-59hz. Is my amplifier busted because setting the bass boost and gain all the way up should not be required to get the default wattage advertised and it seems that this isn't just a miscalculation on which the amplifier doesn't put out the right amount but an actual mechanical flaw in the amplifier.
