Love my 10CR Active! I was concerned about potential "voicing" of the amp, but there isn't any - and it's perfect! For my purposes, I have been running with rolled up socks in the port of my passive 10CR to cut down the exaggerated sub-bass. Is it safe to do that with the active cab? Or is there a different trick that still allows some airflow? Even with my high-pass set to 100Hz, the socks in the port have been necessary for me. (I play bass with a Concert/Community Wind Band).

Hi Bill,
Glad you're loving it! I wouldn't worry about blocking the port unless the plate starts getting very hot but I doubt you're pushing it super hard so that's pretty unlikely. Interesting that you're thinking of the cab having exaggerated sub-bass because it really doesn't - if we were managing that from such a small and efficient cab we would definitely be beating the laws of physics! ;-) But if damping or plugging the port gets you the lows you want then it doesn't matter what's technically going on.
Best regards,
Alex
