Just put a staple through my SA6's bass + port

Holy ****!!!!!! That's all I have to say about it. I was listening to Metallica's Mama Said before and the chorus was just the chorus, then I put the staple through. Then it was like my step-dad's stereo system, I could feel the bass in the chorus. Not like Linkin Park's Lying From You, but it was still awesome. Just one question, don't I you have to put a red hot staple through to keep the hole slightly bigger? If I do, I am going to do it tomorrow. I was tentative about it, but I love it. Kudos to whoever decided to try it in the first place.

No need to use a red hot staple or needle. What you did is sufficient enough.

You only use a red hot staple when you want to create a new hole, but that is not what this mod is about.

Yay, another converted SA6 user. I had a similar reaction. Went from 'where's the bass!?' one minute, to 'where did all that bass come from?'. It was a day and night experience.

What exactly do you mean by "put the staple through"?

You can mod the bass+ port by using a staple or needle to open the hole in the middle a bit. It opens up the bass, for some reason. Sounds like a bass++ port would maybe just make the bass+ hole a little bigger?

I had bass before, more than I was ever used to, but I was curious about the mod. Heard a lot people say it gives a lot of bass and opens up the soundstage (which I am not familiar with) but anyway, I got even more bass out of it after. I really love listening to Metallica's Mama Said again.

bumps up the upper bass but not extension but infact may lower it.

Bass Reflex Loudspeakers

they are designed in tune

Or to put it another way, It makes them sound really really good.

i just love how the SA6's are so mod-able.

I keep going back and forth between these and the Super.Fi 5 pros
