Let's quit bashing BOOM long enough to address the question.... what can be done to improve the speaker enclosure acoustics regardless of the speakers or amplifier?

Now if you want bashing, the Boom system is Garbage and I feel sorry for those of you that got suckered in, I really do. But the fact remains, it's not going to get any better no matter what you do to it.

Trying To Stay On Topic
How is me telling you my experience with Boom bashing? You're not going to make it sound any better unless you can crack the code in the RUN BIN_FILE. Period end of story.

For exmaple, I can take a bluetooth speaker, set it in a bookshelf while playing, and it changes the sound drastically. There has to be tips/tricks that make the Boom-stage2-setup sound better than just bolting them into the stock speaker pods.......or am I being naive?

Why do you say that? That's kind of what started the whole string...AHB says seal the pod, Sinister says cut a "port" in the pod. There's a ton of knowledge here but no one sharing their experience. Why do I need to hack the pods ? What kind of hacks are we talking about?
