Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom


Is sealing ports and adding fill an option if you have ported cabinets that are boomy? Just got some Kappa 8.1 and bass is boomy and unrealistic. I like my Kappa 7 better which is sealed but the 8.1 has some interesting drivers.

my boominess problem went away with installing morrow audio interconnects. maybe bass or signal smearing is the problem. i never quit trying to find solutions to these less than earth shaking[ha] situations. thanks
no one mentioned it unless i missed it but at one time people put soda straws into port to 'control' the air movement. i tried it and never heard a difference and the muticolored straws kept dissappearing as child stole them. i can,t be the only person who endures all these pranks/tweaks recommendations. ha
thanks, you are exactly right. can you hear chug? i.m sure it,s there when cheap speaker manufactures like the one in framingham mass use a cardboard tube. ha. the nice looking aerodynamic fluted ports look cool. why is the velodyne ports slotted across the bottom of the cabinet? guess they would claim measurements of response show an advantage. this is why the inventor side of audio is cool to me. so many different ways to try and produce a sound wave accurately. thanks
