They sell "kits" with a measured amount for the size voice-coil: https://www.simplyspeakers.com/ferro-fluid-speaker-repair-kit-mi-ff100.html

Dramatically improved characteristics on RF-7 iii

Google "baffle step compensation" there is science behind it. One would have to think that the engineers at Klipsch would have accounted for this in the crossover design but no doubt expanding the width of the baffle can dramatically alter the sound. -

I'm selling a like new pair of Beyma 15" woofers these things are beasts 4" voice-coils high power handling with usable frequency response from 30hz-4khz. I had these in my Chorus II cabinets and they are very articulate- strong bass output with a very detailed lower midrange. My plan was to go active and use DSP but never got that far. I bought these from US Speaker and after tax and shipping they cost just over $1,000. I'm asking $600 and that includes fully insured shipping to the lower 48. PP friends and family or US money order. Pictures are of the Beyma woofer next to a stock Chorus woofer for comparison. https://usspeaker.com/beyma 15P80fe-1.htm

Sounds to me like you may need bigger speakers if you're listening loud enough to cause damage try and find some Chorus II's if listening loud is your thing or maybe some of the Pro models; KP-301's or KI-362's- I believe there's a set of 301's in the garage sale section right now, not sure where you're located but these would do the trick:

I helped a member here years back he had a pair of KLF-30's with Emotiva amp and pre and complained about not having any bass. He was semi local about an hour north of me so I loaded up some Sunfire gear amp and Pre and we did a side by side comparison after I checked all of his wiring. The difference in sound quality and bass impact was not subtle- after about a half an hour or so he bought the Sunfire gear from me. We even tried the Emotiva Pre with the Sunfire amp and Emotiva amp with the Sunfire Pre, each time with either Emotiva piece the sound quality went backwards.

Interesting- I was researching this same thing only a week or so ago and there is definitely something to it. From what I gathered there were trade-offs, no free lunch kind of thing. Have you tried different size baffle extenders? I think you can go too far with it may be worth trying a few different sizes to get the best sound possible thanks for sharing!
