What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?


Hi-

I am wondering what would give the most dramatic increase in bass and low mid projection/Volume, even on account of accuracy ...


My speakers can go down to 28hz but i need to boost it’s level, not frequency extension. They are 2 way with bass reflex port. 6.5" woofer size and a tweeter. Floor standing.

My floor is old hardwood strips.

placement and coupling methods are the first things that come to mind. I do not want to add an equalizer at this point.

Spikes, footers, concrete platform, direct floor flush contact? anything and everything that YOU know works.
Speculations on untested methods are not needed as i need real life experience from people.

Thanks!

Hi , I’ve had similar issues, but with a different type speaker . I am not able to buy a $4k item for tone , since I currently exist in a Mid-Fi price point . 3 kids with cars and college just ended , so maybe soon . So I purchased the Schiit Loki and have had good results . I’m currently running Zu’s on extremely thick carpet , but get decent Bass . So I tried different spikes and spent $400 on some really nice Timber Nation footers . Unfortunately they killed my sound ( I was really surprised ). I emailed Zu and Sean gave me some suggestions to try . In the end I removed the footers . But contact your speaker builder as they know the best tweaks for their products . I have tube amps and pre , so I was able to adjust my bass by running KT120’s over smaller power tubes . But it’s always give and take . For little or no money you could try digital correction programs on a laptop streaming Tidal . Amarro for example when used on a Mac , will do MQA unfolding and frequency curves prior to your DAC . You can trial it or buy for $100. So on the cheap , the Loki , footers, digital software. Hope this helps, Mike .
