Sealing ported enclosure to reduce boom


Is sealing ports and adding fill an option if you have ported cabinets that are boomy? Just got some Kappa 8.1 and bass is boomy and unrealistic. I like my Kappa 7 better which is sealed but the 8.1 has some interesting drivers.

I agree with stuffing the ports too. You may want to position them differently (more or less toe-in - closer or farther from front or side walls - etc).
If what you are asking about adding 'fill' as in adding sand or shot to them that will tighten the sound from top to bottom. Try one thing at a time. Adding 'fill' may also make them forward sounding .
That's my opinion and good luck
