Wow that is a BIG XO, for being in a speaker. That thing would be outside the enclosure for me.. No way it would go inside.. That is a going to have vibration issues.. Period.. There would be silicone everywhere.
I only see zip ties... That may secure the coils, but no way inside the box.
BAD idea with bass in the box and that flexible HUGE XO with upright coils.. Mine would be heaped up with hot glue and silicone OUTSIDE.
You can trim the goop to look very nice.

The old XO is far better as far a vibration control and size for sure..

Pretty typical of Danny using foam vs sound coat and insulation. The stiffening inside I would wrap with dampening material like dyno mat or something.. They BOING if you don't.

I cut the long panel lengths in half with a 3/4 X 2" brace sound coat the inside and black hole the baffle face. Heavy insulation for the bass and wool for the mid/highs. Change the terminal ends to some good ones..
He really like tube connectors.. I like pure red copper I don't care who makes it..  It can be battery lugs for all I care.. Heavy pure copper NO gold plating or any thing else..

I'll bet if you just redo the inside of the box correctly, you won't need to do a darn thing. The 1k peek he was talking about.. ??? It's a peek, easy peasy. Not a valley or suck out..  Wall panels will tame a 1K flame or EQ for god sakes.

What state does jerrygarcia reside in?

living in nj /with kit speaker interior braced and dyna mat new crossover usues better and less parts i can do work except building cross overs

If you listen to the video, Danny says "If you don't do the crossover do the box upgrade". You'll notice a difference.. I'd start there and see if fixing the box alone makes a lot of difference.. I bet more so than the XO change..

There is peak he addresses at 1K. Like I said it is a PEAK not a suck out or combing or a crossover issue. It's an EQ issue, and easy to address with a simple GEQ, no need for PEQ or anything fancy. Could probably fix it with simple tone control..
