ok
I had to put it back in my big midhorn
just to hear how its changed
and its changed
the 'signature' is still there
but its now much less 'ressonant'
cleaner, and more homogene
it apparently aslo means a less output
feels much easier to play now
with nicer tone, and more natural
thats the most important thing
and what I was hoping fore
I wont do any coating until its been tested in the dipole

ok, ressonance control it is then
but most important to me is, I can now play/practice again, without severe tinnitus attacks
not yet fullly there, but its going in the right direction
and this only one step on the way
with designing/constructing a bass cab, there are many issues I did not expect
have to admit, I still know very little about this
and I now understand why its not so easy to design good commercial bass cabs
definately not simple or straight forward

tinitus, here's something to try.
Add cushions/pillows around the back of the driver, so that you can't see the cone from the back.
This will absorb some of the backwave, giving more output forwards (heading towards cardiod pattern).
I did this with a smaller speaker (on a small baffle) some time ago (used about 1" of polyester wool), and output improved dramatically.

I might do that, in the end
for now its more a 'study'
its really loud enough for me
Im just saying, dont expect it to do a rockandroll concert
lows are ok, and clean
with that little touch of 'gnarly' tone I happen to like
but theres simply too much 'midrange', giving a 'canny' sound
I have noticed this 'canny sound' tendency before, when adding that gnarly tone with amp electronics
but obviously some of the 'can-sound' now comes from the wood/construction
and also, the woofer will most likely need a bit of coating
no doubt, this woofer cone is light, and stiff
might do a better job as guitar speaker
apparently the wood ressonances in my construction drives the string pitch upwards
or the audible part of it
messes with string tuning
not good enough, yet
maybe we are now into what is called 'egalite'
I have only known this with acoustic instruments
if 'egalite' is the right word at all
btw, occationally I have noticed a similar effect, or problem, when using tone controls/eq

Likewise - it's building a cabinet for bass that has no bass response at all.
