I've always been very suspicious of the wisdom of placing foam bungs in the ports of ported speakers. If they were designed to be ported, am I supposed to believe that suddenly it's ok to turn them into a sealed box design? I don't buy it, and knowing the experienced DIY'er that you are, I'm surprised that you do.
Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips?
Yes, I'm being inclusive.
What's your favorite tip to audiophiles? Here is mine:
If you are using a subwoofer with ported main speakers, consider plugging the ports and raising the sub crossover. Even if you don't have a subwoofer, sometimes plugging one or the other can really reduce bloat. It's worth listening to it since it's cheap and non destructive (assuming you don't lose your sock in the port).
