RE: Can I Add Stuffing To Dampen Boomy Bass?

Adding damping can make the box acoustically larger which will decrease(improve) the Q(damping) of the box. But too much damping can make the Q too low and it will be tight but it will lose bass.

Also be careful to keep the damping away from the driver. Too close, especially if there's too much, can choke the sound of a driver and make it sound dull.

Also, just for accuracy, the A25 is not a sealed speaker. It is a damped port. There is no sound from the port but there is a controlled pressure release which improves the Q of the box making the bass tighter than it would be in a closed box of the same size.
