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.

Before Christmas I bought 2 more sub for my system? I already have one.Now I have 3. What I do I will put all the volume of my sub down including the crossover .Then I will start adjusting each one, through volume and crossover? This is how I am able to control bass .It works for me.

There is little to no substitute for a speaker that does bass properly to begin with. You don't need a sub.

If it’s boomy, it’s not located properly, crossed over properly or set to the correct level. 

@audioguy85    Yeah.  But many cannot fit in or afford the necessarily huge and expensive speakers that do bass properly.  And there is still a cross-over to the bass driver(s).

'Properly,' must be the reason why I often see manufacturers of statement speakers demonstrate them with subwoofers.
