Yep, try an inductor in parallel with a variable resistor as an experiment. There are some online calculators that can give you a starting point as far as component values and attenuation levels: Loudspeaker Diffraction Loss and Baffle Step Compensation Circuits
Here is an example of what Bob is referring to with an inductor in parallel with a variable resistor, though it is for a different driver: Full Range
You'll need a mic and some measuring software (REW works well for this purpose, as does an old analog Radio Shack SPL meter, and a tripod). Pick up a few values of coils and then experiment with the coils and the resistor. This will allow you to tune your speaker to taste. It'll take some time, but you'll learn from the process.
