this week's OB experiments and conclusions

I had a good experiment myself today. One basic (obvious) problem with OB's is the size baffle required to get bass. (I have 4x4's myself and they do pretty good, but too big for my room (and they cut out some of the wall bounce I like)). So I decided to try a compensation network to cut down the highs enough to get a balanced presentation with a sub-optimum baffle (12" FR (guitar) driver with only itself as the baffle). First I tried the normal BSC procedure and that worked to some extent but not enough. So I tried a 6db/octave LP coming in @~ 2xFs (lower and you loose some of what little bass you have to begin with). Tonal balance is pretty good!
Bypassing the coil with a resistor and or cap can adjust the highs. BUT :( Mr. Distortion (IM?) The bass fuzzes up the mids and highs since they are at such a comparatively low level......
