Found some of these acoustic dampeners in my junk speaker, thought of making good use of these

lay them down correctly so I can roll it up

looks messy but it's okay

stuff them in and it fits snugly
While doing this does improve the bass response and tightens everything up, I am risking my subwoofer to death by a few minor factors like:
-Causing the woofer driver to struggle because it can't move as freely as it should be.
-May overheat the amp as there is less airflow
-May cause the voicecoil to unwind itself because it can't move freely (the voicecoil might try to break free by escaping from the glue and start rattling by itself)

Anyways, I have not fully tested it yet but I can say the bass volume has reduced and sounds much faster without sounding muddy due to midbass

Port noise has been incredibly reduced as well

my objective:
If I can't get it to sound deep like the logitechs, I try to get them to work together like a family

seriously, this subwoofer doesn't want to cooperate with the satellites...

that could mainly the crossover issue and/or lack of proper/good mid bass which you cant really do much about it. of course, it could be different than my case since i am using a C3 and not S530D

Also, given my experience in subwoofer/audio/car speakers, stuffing your port not only steers you away further from your intended objectives, it will also almost definitely cause the problems you have mentioned yourself. so my personal advise is to remove the stuffing smile.gif

=edit=
bolding the bottom important part too

oh how I wish I could just buy some Elna caps to mess around with these

not sure if you've gotten my advise fully, but as far as i am concerned, caps would the last of your worries lol.

well at least messing with the capacitor value slightly would change the crossover characteristics tongue.gif

i will be honest with you: you're gonna be wasting time and effort, and most importantly money depending on what kinda caps ur getting/modding lol.

point being: solve your problem, not hide it. tackle that first who knows you'll be gaining much more and wouldn't need to do something menial such as modding caps smile.gif

hell, if you fix it THEN mod caps, you're definitely gonna gain much better SQ, right?

everything requires a soundcard... you can't expect a graphic card to make sound wink.gif

if your soundcard supports digital out (optical or coaxial) then you need not to upgrade your soundcard

but if your soundcard sounds bad then you need to upgrade icon_rolleyes.gif

some speakers have internal DAC and/or amp and only require digital input into them (which a usb interface, spdif/coaxial etc can work, remember, it may not be from a pc)

Thank you for your reply...
I went to the shop and luckily Z623 and one more model, T3 has been shown to me. I really liked Z623 (T3 is even more amazing but I am tight on budget). Logitech is the way to go as it is well established in our country unlike Edifier.
I am getting Z623 soon

T3 if you want a better wholesome package. logitech just never quite work well (at least for me anyways) when it comes to music sad.gif
