...from audio nervosa, AKA audiofoolia. That's how one gets one's system from OK-sounding to great-sounding in many-dozens of tiny steps. This is just one of them. :-)
And if I didn't want to improve the overall sound, I'd be leaving the crossover parts as-is. UPWARD, Dick--ever upward!
My latest idea is to use HIGH-density fiberboard, AKA hardboard, brand name of Masonite. It's high mass AND inexpensive. Maybe three layers of that and two layers of SoundCoat the Thicker...or four and three, respectively. We'll see.

Keep in mind that hard materials are easily excited by vibration. Where as "softer" less dense materials are less likely to vibrate.

... is that we can get too hung up on minute details that can have no audible effect. Hell, why not add 100 layers of sound absorbent material, encase it in concrete and cover it with gold, then bury it 100 ft. below ground to prevent vibration? C'mon let's get real!
The universe is made of electrons, protons, neutrons, and morons.
But if you don't believe in tweaky stuff like this, why do you hang around this forum?
And what does "...apparently lost audphile..." mean?

But opinion isn't necessarily fact. Believing a tweak WILL work is not the same as a tweak ACTUALLY working. The only reasonable way to check is a double blind test, but since many in the audiophile community pooh-pooh the idea, I know that wouldn't be a necessarily be a reasonable suggestion.

There really is no foolproof way to check anything (even using a double-blind test), and that's why we run around like headless chickens making changes we can only hope will affect the sound and then tending to believe in the changes we do make, because we've then spent time and money on them. But we're not bad people, darnit.
