Peter, the new unit has significantly improved my sound. I have a good friend whose name I can't mention. I asked about ancillary gear for subs, like cables, amps, crossovers, etc. I have found that these do make a huge difference to the overall quality of your sound. Not just the bass.
The Thor has no internal controls. It's just a massive woofer. I run low pass only at 30 Hz. Phase is set a zero. Mono. Balanced. Line In. High Pass is out. It was quite simple to adjust the overall volume. A properly tuned sub like a Thor improves the quality of the mids and treble.
I don't know why I didn't upgrade from the Watch Controller sooner. I have significantly improved my sound. Making the sub second class dies hard. I have told my friend who is very knowledgeable and has the money, and he has finally provided his subs the amps they need. Actually, the subs need at least the amplification as your mains.
Best
Charles
