1.7i's sound like they have a head cold because of where the inductor is placed in the crossover.
If you don't want to mess with the insides, the easy solution is to buy a Shiit Loki or Lokius and bump the frequency you are not hearing properly. I bought one as an amusement and not only does it do that well, but you can also bump the bass, as they will produce a significant amount more than their stock configuration. Same concept as a plate amp for subs. Box subs don't go that low naturally, their bass is intentionally overdriven. Not talking about open baffle or horn subs, just boxed ones.
Let the naysayers descend like rabid wild animals while they mic measure their rooms and let a computer do the tampering for them, all feeling safe on the streets knowing there are no tone controls on their preamps.
Everything else that offers a significant performance increase is major surgery that requires removing the panty hose, starting with a million staples.
