    I got to open up the speakers and verify the crossover and driving wiring is correct, so I think I can rule that out as a source of problems. I was told by another Club Polk member to make sure the batting was where it belonged, which it wasn't. The second layer of batting which is split at the top, had fallen down behind the passive radiator. I pushed it back up behind the drivers all the way to the top of the cabinet, and put the rolls of batting behind each driver as well.

    I could just be imagining things, but now it seems that the midbass has returned and the bass is more responsive in general. Does that make sense?

    Thanks!

    I had the same experience with that piece of batting that's split. I thought it was supposed to be at the bottom of the cabinet. When I repositioned it behind the mw's, the bass became stronger and cleaner.
