Hi,
I have just put together my first kit speakers - the Overnight Sensations, as sold by Parts Express. I haven't yet screwed the drivers or port tubes in, but held in place with gorilla tape. I've made a couple of observations of the sound.
When I first built the crossovers, I put the drivers in the baffles and hooked up. I liked the tweet, mids and bass balance not too bad, but certainly lacking in low frequency extension.
Then I put the cabinets together. There came to be a lot of bass. I am missing the mids, particularly, and even treble, and this is more bass than I would like to have.
(Will screwing drivers and port tubes down noticeably affect this?)
Can I add stuffing, or seal the ports, or what can I do to tame this?
TIA-
Mark
