I've been adjusting the tonal balance of my 3-way speakers. Previously, they were tuned to be flat. But now, I've decided to add some Bass EQ to them.
Bass EQ is simply the attenuation of the mid and high. I added L-Pads to the mid and high and tweaked them slightly until the new amplitude curve was perfectly lean on the original. However, for the bass section, the original crossover is implemented using a second-order configuration with L = 3.5mH and C = 100uF.
Since I don't have any experiences about equalization, I'm hesitant to choose the mid-to-bass or Bass EQ curve.
Attached are the plots of new versus original curves for comparisons. There are five different shapes of bass EQs made from parts (inductors and capacitors) I have. I've tried listening to all of them, but I still can't decide.
A ) 3.5mH and 100uF (Original combination)
B ) 4.0mH and 130uF
C ) 4.2mH and 150uF
D ) 5.0mH and 70.5uF
E ) 5.0mH and 100uF
Please advise which option is the most appropriate.
