an update...
i doubled amount of damping in the line and there is remarkable improvement. the cabinet resonance that I was hearing has reduced a lot and the bass, although not much to start with, has not reduced. it is still the same and slightly cleaner now.
however, one observation is confirmed that this driver has a very high cone break up and will not work without a crossover. i don't want to put a crossover so the only option is to find a better 3" driver with a better frequency range.
surprisingly at low volumes the sound is not that harsh in the midrange as doubted from the driver. and the rolled off treble after the 10khz probably gives a smoother response in the high frequencies than a two-way systems. but, detailing does suffer. It is suitable for casual background listening. Full range driver has a lot of potential for a warm, pleasing sound.
Still reasonable for a 4k speaker system!
