I´m modding my 683 S2 speakers by replacing the cap´s and resistors and also rewire internally by soldering directly to the driver´s.
When I uninstalled the midrange kevlar FST, I realized the cabinet housing was packed almost all the way up to the driver magnet with dampening wool, altough it was wool glued to the side wall´s, the back wall and at the down of the housing. The extra wool was just putten in without glue.
For the bass cabinet housing/chamber, there are just wool glued at the wall surface´s, not so much as for the midrange.
Do the midrange chamber really need more dampening than the bass chamber?? Or maybe the assembler just had some extra to get rid of!
I think if removing that extra dampening wool, the midrange sound may be better - or do anyone know if it´s really needed?
