"It sounds muffled...", Please help

Ever listen to your subs all by themselves? Zero definition, right?

Experiments with more fiberglass in the 2123 box.
It changes the sound quite a lot.

Great suggestion. I'll try that too. Thanks!

Funny you mention that. With a lot of subs, I'd heartily agree, but with the 2245's in 10cf, I am so impressed!! Now, I only use them at <40hz, 24db/oct, so I agree there isn't much down there at all, but for 16' and 32' pipes you can almost hear, and definitely feel, the individual 32 and 16hz cycles. I, like a lot of us, have had other subs that are less capable at presenting these long waveforms. I love these subs!

Sadly, I'm not getting the same from the next step up...

Agreed about the 2245H... it won't dig down into the subterranean depths that some other subs will, but for music it is an amazingly good sub.

I doubt you'll be able to get the type of sound your after with the 2206. To get the level of articulation of the better SEAS drivers and the drive and impact of the better JBLs is pretty tough.

What if you were to eliminate the 2123 and go directly to the horn? I'm asking partly for self-interest sake since I'm going to use the 2245/2206 with 2441/2390.
