Anyone ever feel the bass is a little weird on these. Not talking about the amp firmware issue but the upper bass sounds distinctly ahead of the lower bass? I assume this is from the front port. I also seem to notice the port or cabinet resonance issue at 650hz. I have some free time and was hoping to measure these speakers driver components and cabinet, and try a few simple mods like bracing.

I just couldn't get past the sound of the woofer on this speaker and couldn't find a buyer for them so I modded my lp6 v2, I had plenty of leftover MDF from some speaker builds and it was a very easy modification. Placed some adhesive dampening material on the amp plate as well the port. Didn't measure anything yet but subjectively they seem to sound quite a bit better. I do have an un-modded pair I want to take impedance sweeps on and compare with the modded version which I will share here at a later time.
Due to the nature of rear panel, one simply can't slide a brace in that extends to the side walls, you must first build up a layer of material that is deeper than the lip on the back side of the speaker. I just put a block on each side. Mod has the added benefit of being able to unplug the dang LED power cable, can't stand the bright blue LED's. I never turn mine off so not much sense keeping the led plugged in.
