"Tired2way" speaker building.

[Starre]

I do not have any coils but I could get a pair. If I did put in one, which frequency range will it affect most?

[Salas]

It will put down the whole hump range but it will probably weaken the 2-3k area too. Better get 0.5mH so you can start heavy and if too much, unwind progressively. It will be a judicious point for your set up where you will feel balance is best for you.

[Starre]

Yes I agree. And it seem to me that extra bracing could not be the cause since it is over a rather wide range. And a smaller box volume that I might have compared with the original should not affect that high in frequency. Maybe try more stuffing but I suspect it would take a lot of it to get that level down?

[Salas]

It could restrict bass too. But its easier to try with that first.

[Starre]

Yes I will try that first. If I get it down a little without losing bass it could be enough.
Good night Nick, I appreciate your help.

[Starre]

Maybe my stiffening of the box made the middle range to pop out a little since less energy is stored in it.

[Salas]

If you take several RTA graphs on a window around listening position from one speaker playing, then the other, and then average them out, then you will know the normalized room response. Its tedious.

[Starre]

I will take it slow beginning with more stuffing first. But I am concerned it will do a very small difference since I read online that the type I am using (polyester wool) is not very effective in the middle range. But trying it out will tell. I will post my results tonight. I am in no hurry so I can try everything else before I even consider adding that extra coil.

[Salas]

Get cheap 3.5mH coils maybe with high saturation ferromagnetic core to avoid high RDC in logical price and start measuring and unwinding until best in room possible value for the pair and your preference is the most drastic.

I doubled the amount of stuffing behind woofer and measured like before but I have the speakers a little less toe-in than I used to (since it almost looked the same in my post yesterday).
First pic is as mentioned above, second I opened the door to my sleeping room (watch the bass peak) and last a close measuring just between tweeter and woofer at 0.35m distance.
