Subwoofer boom is too much for me...


Could I tone down the boom on my subwoofer by plugging the port with something like a washcloth?  Have you ever tried this and had success?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Certainly we do not want a booming sub but that is not even the critical issue.  The critical issue is NONE of the subwoofers I have tried, including SVS SB 1000 & 2000, Rel T5x and my long-term Audio Research sub could render satisfactory bass in terms of its pace and texture to match with my main speakers.  I am not sure if the servo controlled sub could because I have not tried.  But I could tell you it is so damn difficult to integrate a large woofer controlled by a its own amp with the main speaker/amp. system.  You could mess around with the DSP to address the nulls / humps but the sub would never be able to be nimble enough to catch up with the main and also to match its texture with the main speakers.  Sandy Groves said the same thing and that is why GoldenEar floorstanders come with its built-in sub.
