I recently connected an 8" speaker with a 2" tweeter in
a baffle to my receiver. The audio is much improved
except there is too much bass. Is there a practical fix
for this?



My guess is it could be due to a combination of woofer (8")
resonance and under damping (high amplifier dc resistance).
Making it free standing, varying the height off the floor, not
placing in a corner or on a shelf or desk and other physical
orientations can change the room-speaker resonance dramatically
sometimes.

Stuffing fiber glass etc into the enclosure will dampen it as will
closing any enclosure ports (it could make it worse too).
Lifting the speaker off its baffle a bit (spacers) or completely
out will change the resonance a lot

The least efficient way is to try various inductors in parallel
with the 8" Try a 6, 12V secondary with and without a core or a
cheap woofer crossover coil.

Then there's adding negative feedback etc.

All in all it's proably easiest to just get another smaller
speaker.
