I have been told that the wave-length of a low-frequency wave is so long that you would have to be standing further away to even hear all of it. Your problem then would be that you want low-end bass from speakers which are basically 4 inches from your ears, which makes it a tall order! IMHO one way could be to design your box so that there are long ports (like the Bose wave-radio) so that the wave gets enough 'travel' before it reaches your ears.

I totally agree that the bass in the Bose setup is really muddled and gets worse the more you put it up. But the problem might be that we are hearing a 'truncated' low frequency so it might be getting overpowered by mid-bass. My treble is also set way down otherwise it gets too much on the higher frequencies without doing anything in the mid frequencies. Though I am not a 'tinkerer' or engineer, I am an audiophile, and thought I would put my 2-bits in!

Happy tinkering, and remember that it is not the quantity of sound - it is the quality!!
