I have a couple of questions about the Knowles GV-32830 quad driver. I'm a bass player, so my primary use would be stage monitor as opposed to high fidelity. I've read where the 32830 has a good mid/vocal range and the bass isn't terribly strong, and I assume this would be for the basic damper setup of White 680 on the tweeter and Brown 1000 on the lows. I also see that the quad driver has four back vents with removable seals... 1 tape and 2 screws.
So for a build using only these drivers but wanting a more full bass sound (being a bass guitar player) but not excessive and boomy, what should I do with the vents, leave closed, open some, open all? And/or would changing the damper(s) to some other color/value help?
I'm going to ask one more question that may expose my ignorance or make some of you highly technically trained audio guys cringe, so don't slam me too hard....but, if wanted to use two of these quad drivers on each side, being identical driver setups each with their own built in crossover, other than a lower impedance, would there be any realized audio benefit to doing this? Would it sound the same, or better or worse?
Oh, one more question...and this may come back to the vent comments above...during the build and without the face plate installed (basically open shell), I know the shells should seal in the ear canal, so once wired the monitors could be listened to, I suppose just to make sure everything is working before sealing things up. But I'm going to assume that without the face plate being installed and having a completely sealed shell that the monitors won't sound right, probably be lacking bottom end?
