[QUOTE="d0dja, post: 137250, member: 2244"] OK, moving this out of JimGore's madisound buy thread :) >WRT l-pads - that's pretty much what I've done, have now settled on padding sort of, although I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong > on the bass response side, have to pad both the tweeter (Visaton SC 10 N @ 90db/W/m) and mid (Eminence Alpha 6A @ > 93dB/W/m) by 6dB to match the woofer (Visaton W 200 S @ 88dB). Huh > >Or is that just that the ported box/W200S combo is really inefficient and I must just suck it (and loads of wsted power) up? I redid the padding this evening, it's now -10 on the mids and -8 on the tweets, and the bass is still pretty subdued (compared to the Infinity Primus 360's standing next to them - which I'm not a huge fan of, find them a bit bass heavy and wooly). Is this normal for a single driver woofer? Or am I doing something very wrong? The Eminence drivers are forking sensitive which doesn't help... [/QUOTE]
