What I'd like to know is if you're removing the putty, could you do a frequency analysis of the room, remove some putty, do another f analysis, remove putty, do another f analysis, and keep doing this until the f analysis begins to "swell" in the bass, then add back a small amount of putty? The aim would be as flat as a response curve as the room would allow. (And this technique could also be used when adjusting the pots.) Or am I thinking too much like an engineer and not enough like an acoustics person?
