>> Maybe it's time for a crash course in circuitry and just roll up the sleeves.Well, this is a good place to start, because it's an easy circuit and all passive, meaning there is no chance of electrocution or anything like that. :)
I could compute values for a simple compensation circuit for you, but I need the following information:
Dimensions of box (most importantly width)
Size of port
What sort of amplification you are usingThe FE206E is *not* suited for the kind of box you have it in, without some sort of compensation. Even with my FE207E in 45 liter vented cabs, which are much better suited to the cabs, I have some parallel resistance to change the damping factor. It is a trade off: you lose efficiency and put a passive component in the signal path, but you gain better tonal balance.
In the meantime, read the linked article. It addresses the baffle step correction, but does not address the extra series resistance you need to add to correct for the driver/cabinet mismatch.
