The ports in these are in the back and small. Would it hurt to try stuffing the ports?. I know they wee designed with ports but I was wondering how the would sound. This would basically turn them into a acoustic suspension design which some prefer....
Follow Ups:
Take into consideration that using a port is integral to the design of the speakers. The woofers probably aren't designed for a closed box design anyway so performance will likely suffer. Snell knew what they were doing in the first place.
Grammar: The difference between feeling your nuts, and feeling you're nuts.
If they are becoming boomy, this will reduce that somewhat (as would pulling them away from the walls), but your problem is probably in the room, not the speakers.
Observe, before you think. Think before you open your yap. Act on the basis of experience.
Ported speaker generally like some breathing room.
It will cut off the bass the port supplies at low to average levels. At very high levels the effect of the port diminishes and the bass response actually is reduced from lower levels. The bass will probably be tighter since the stuffing will reduce the Q of the system and reduce the rate of bass roll off, especially if the stuffing is dense. It just won't go as low stuffed.It will turn it into a variovent also known as aperiodic but not acoustic suspension or not even infinite baffle which is not exactly the same as acoustic suspension. The character of an aperiodic is more like a closed box with its slower bass roll off and the stuffed opening will make the box seem larger acoustically which is part of the reason for the tighter bass.
