Michael- Typically, ported speakers are lined with about 50% damping material, which translates to an inch or so on all sides except the speaker baffle itself. If you want to tinker, replace the crossover caps with film caps like Solens and the resistors (if any) with non-inductive types. Both caps and resistors are available from Madisound. When I cracked open my first set of speakers (Radio Shack two-ways) I was surprised and a little depressed by how funky they were. It was then I had an epiphany. Build my own! After all, how difficult could it be? If my Rat Shack's were any indication, not too hard. Well, over the years I've found it's also not as easy as I thought but certainly a lot of fun. And I can control the quality of components that go into my designs. Maybe DIY is in your future?
