TangBand W3-871S Mods

[Relax]

What kind of mods, such as dampening certain areas of the driver and whatnot are out there to help increase the performance and sound quality of the TangBand W3-871S?

Also, I have heard these drivers often require a notch filter. What exactly is the best notch filter for this driver and what values should I use. Also, what ratings are required for the parts, i.e. 5 watt for resistors, or 21 gauge air core inductors....

thanks!

For speaker mods, you could look at:

Mark has some documented mods to the W3-881S

As for a notch, it would be speaker dependent.

Here is one example with the W3-871S
