Hello, Well my cabinets are finally done, I instahled the Fostex 206's that were so highly recommended to me and hooked them up to my new used Consonance 9 watt M500 mono blocks. My first impression was that they were thin sounding, with minimal bass and a bit bright. After listening a while I certainly appreciated the beautiful midrange detail. I built the cabinets based on Fostex's recomendations with a 45 liter cabinet and a 3"port, 3"s long. I moved my subwoofer in to the bedroom but would still like to see how I might be able to get more low mid bass and bass from these cabinets. Any sugestions??????
A few more details on cabinets. They we made from 1" MDF. I may have over done it on the interior cabinet dressing. I first glued and stapled eighth inch thick rubber material through out interior serfaces then stapled 3/8" felt through out then added some 1" dacron batting on only two walls, the top and the back wall with additional felt on the back wall. There's plenty of clear air from the rear of the driver to the port but maybe I need to remove some of my interior treatment? Thanks, Pete
