Sound from the front VS side of cab

When I'm in front of my closed back 2x10 it's perfect, but off to one side or the other there is a dramatic loss of treble and it's very muffled (which when a mic is used it's not an issue). I'm just curious if it could be as simple as making the cab an open-back, or if anyone has another suggestion. I assume that's just the nature of speakers and cabs in general. Obviously while standing directly in front of the cab you get all of the sound, but if there is a way to get some more treble off to the sides, I'd appreciate the help.

I believe its the nature of the speaker. I've also noticed the same thing, plus when your a certain distance away from the speaker, it seems louder too.

 

+1. 'Tis the nature of the beast.

That's kind of what I thought. I'll double up on the cabs if ever I play out to an audience bigger than 10 people again.

Well, what's up my infantry brother! I was in from 87'-90 than recalled in 91' for Desert Storm (went back to Ft. Drum). I live a couple of hours from Ft Campbell. I like the cold though, so I went North.

some guy came up with a foam donut idea you stick on the front of the cab, to disperse the sound....that way it sounds more consistent in front & to the sides

 

can't find the link though, I think it was on TGP

 

you can make them yourself

Open the back up and the sound will much easier to hear. There will still be a loss of tone or the muffle you noticed before but mush less dramatic. I cannot her anything with a closed back unless I am right in front of the thing then I go def from too much sound so I only go through open backs now plus I like the tone much more too. I do find an open back 4x10 is easier to hear than an open back 2x12, not sure why but that is what I have noticed.
