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.

@erik_squires My sub doesn't have a port; however, I've been running a cable into the low pass with my Ragnarok as Schiit says their speaker terminals are both active (and thus I don't use their REL cable). However, most guidance says to avoid the HPF altogether. What do you recommend?

This has worked for me every time I've set up a sub, whether it be REL or another brand. The idea of keeping the crossover as low as possible while volume high was tough to swallow at first, but now makes sense.

And yes, I have bass traps and such.
