Well I tried adding some wool baff wadding to my ProacDT8’s and it made the sound worse
I took measurements as well and while it smoothed out the freq response, what I heard was a less lively and open sound.
i tried different amounts as well.
i first put some behind the woofers. Not too much. And it deadened the sound
then I took that out and put some on the bottom since it is bare around the port. Was a bit better, but again less lively.
i put different amounts in both behind the woofers and on the bottom.
both very little and more didn’t provide hoped for results.
interesting since the speakers box doesn’t have much damping
good learning experience.

Nah, no issue I was trying to fix. Just was experimenting to see if reducing internal reflections would make the sound clearer.
was fun trying it
was fun trying it
I’ll try and post a video.
i only put 39grams per speaker behind the woofers. For the first experiment

finally someone who gets me. Lol
yeah just trying differnt things. Taking measurements and trying to learn.
thanks man
Ok first pic is a reference of how it is empty with only the foam which is what the manufacturer has in it.
second one is with the wool I added.

Now for the bottom pics
first pic is for you guys to see how the manufacturer has a strip of foam diagonally across towards the port
second is with me moving that strip of foam and showing you the wool I put on the bottom. Without the wool is completely bare.

And here is a very crude drawing I took of the inside from a side view

I'm not surprised to learn that ProAc got it right (or as right as they could)!
And I'll wager that the manufacturers also employed some "DIY spirit" in trying to get it right. 😉
P.S. May I suggest you attach your photographs instead so that the thread is easier to navigate?
Well…. smoothing out the response ís what you should want actually. ‘Lively and open sound’, to me it occurs you like the resonances inside the enclosure. Nothing wrong with that obviously, and great you are experimenting. My design targets are different, but that is the fun here, everyone is entitled to strive after his or her perfection.
