The Eagle H4300 cups. As Wualta said, there is a cone in the middle, and then vents around the edges. Ther is also a recession for the driver.
The baffle, with a recession for the driver.
The driver in the recession in the bafle.
The driver is mounted in the two recesions, in the cups and in the baffle.
A first mod attempt:
Damping over the vents, with springy foam to keep it in place. A slightly too small piece of felt to damp the driver. Blutak to seal the baffle. I am still evaluating this mod, but first impression is that it did not work too well. They sound dark but still not deep-bassy. At the same time, they sound closed-in, which means lack of high treble.
EDIT: The Eagle is now on the wikiphonia ( http://wiki.faust3d.com/wiki//index....le=Eagle_H4300 )
EDIT2: Now I tried a different damping scheme. They sound a lot airier. I replaced the damping strip with a solid foam strip. I don't know if it seals compeltely but more than felt, for sure. I left one vent hole open with felt in front. I replaced the felt circle with a piece of synthetic cloth for cleaning glasses. It's extremely thin (woven), very dampy, and probably reflects treble too.
