The lack of focus comes from the lack of high frequency energy. A 4" midwoofer stinks as a tweeter. There is practically no energy above about 10 to 12 khz, the driver's inertial mass being far too great no matter how much electrical energy you pump into it. And even if there were, the dispersion of HF energy from the front facing driver, the one which creates the sense of directionality becaue it arrives at the listener first and the one direction from which it is loudest, is so poor that unless you were directly on axis, you wouldn't hear it anyway. But I fixed that. Mine is an entirely different speaker now. BTW, I also took out the upper bass peak at around 250 hz as well, and I extended the deep bass so that it is in reasonable balance with the rest of the spectrum.
