Hi wa3drc,
There is one possible solution to 'amplify' the response of your bass-driver, in the way that you use L-C low-pass filter but in stead of using driver impedance to be about 8 Ohms, recalculate the network L, C elements as the driver impedance is about 3 Ohms, and then recalculate the response (using SPICE) using L, C but in the simulation put that the bass impedance is 8 Ohms. Let try with these:
C=37.5 uF, and L=0.675 mH, and Bass R=8 Ohms.....
You will get almost +6dB at about 930Hz, while -3dB would be at about 1480Hz, and -6dB at 1670Hz ( all the data are not exact values).
