Bose 301 modifications


Okay, dont laugh too hard........I'm new to the forums and have a question to pose for the experts.  I find myself in possession of two pairs of Bose 301's.  Yes, I'd like to put gasoline on them and strike match BUT....I like to experiment with things too.  Does anybody have any ideas (other than my previous one) on how to improve the sound ie swapping out the speakers inside the enclosure.  My 14 year old daughter wants me to install a stereo in her room and I thought that since I have the 301's I might be able to soup them up a little.

Best thing to do with 301’s without changing out drivers is to power them with a receiver with a loudness function (turned on) and a bit of bass and treble boost....they’re at least listenable . This is for 301-II’s
I took mine apart because they sound like there’s little to no damping material inside the cabinet, but there is lots of it, box seems simply too small for that woofer.

The Woofer is run wide open too, seems very little thought was put into that crossover, just something simple and generic to keep the low frequencies out of the tweeter.
