One week ago, I bought a pair of 2nd hand Odysseys and I adore them! As you will know these have a big bass cabinet: a 8" woofer on the front and a 10" woofer on the back.
Of course, I listened to my new speakers in the evenings. But only at moderate volume level. During the week both my neighbours complained about a resonating bass sound. (I live in a partly wooden house, all the houses are placed in a 'row', not separate.)
I has to be that the big 10" woofer on the back of the cabinet is to blame for this. I already took some small measures: placing the spikes, placing the speakers on a tile, a pillow behind each speaker, placing them 40 cm. from the front wall. Unfortunately it does not help very much.
Before I have to sell these babies I want to trie some bass dampening measures, and I HOPE YOU WILL HELP ME WITH THIS (..no, I don't want to go back to conventional speakers .....). So, please what are your soloutions??(oh, and I do have a wife and little children as well).
Is it possible to put a swith before the 10" woofer(so I can swith it on when the neighbours are not at home ;-). I also thought to put a thick cloth under the grill of the woofer, however I think this will damage the woofer.....
