What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?

Hi-

I am wondering what would give the most dramatic increase in bass and low mid projection/Volume, even on account of accuracy ...


My speakers can go down to 28hz but i need to boost it’s level, not frequency extension. They are 2 way with bass reflex port. 6.5" woofer size and a tweeter. Floor standing.

My floor is old hardwood strips.

placement and coupling methods are the first things that come to mind. I do not want to add an equalizer at this point.

Spikes, footers, concrete platform, direct floor flush contact? anything and everything that YOU know works.
Speculations on untested methods are not needed as i need real life experience from people.

Thanks!

I was an early adopter of the Loki EQ...don't use it much as I like to keep signals as clean as possible, but when I do use the thing it's great. The adjustment sweep is sort of "front loaded" meaning they do their thing with larger effect initially, but sensibly designed...mine stays in the preamp to amp line, on but out of the circuit...so it's ready! I've noticed it's amazing electronic transparency, and tested that by removing it from the rig and returning it with no audible difference...even with obviously longer cable runs to make it fit. Get one, try it, send it back if you can't make it work for you. Done.

No. but I'm going to order one soon. I want to see if I can improve on the overall sound of a FM tuner I just purchased. Will try it on other sources also. It just seems to hard to resist for the money along with the return policy.
