Steady-state DC indicates an amplifier problem.Assuming no malfunction, an amplifier may (by design) generate transients during power-on, power-off, and input switching. These are low-frequency, potentially high-amplitude "thumps" heard from the woofer. If using a line-level crossover, you can always increase its value so that the capacitor has little effect at the crossover frequency, but still blocks low-frequency transients.
