I really appreciate all the ideas and help, as I am a novice audiophile. I wanted to try and save the cabinet intact , for resale down the road. What I was thinking about now, was removing the base and maybe building a ported riser to allow air to move out, however not knowing much about acoustics, I did not know if it would be worth messing with it. If it is better to just get a subwoofer that might be the route to take. Thanks again
