Have you opened it up and inspected it? I wonder if the crossover PCB inside just has the woofer disconnected. I would assume that the direct-connect plug must disable the crossover when something is inserted, otherwise the passive crossover components would still be across the driver when not needed. My guess is it does that by open-circuiting the return side. It would be worth looking inside because I think the problem might be obvious, disconnected plug broken wire, etc.
