Yeah, I connected it as is, no modifications. Just to try and see if it works, or what to change if I don't like it. But it sounded great as is, on line level in (!) Fortunately it had 63 Hz resonant frequency. Detuned (awfully detuned!) bass drum sounded as if it was carefully tuned by a magic device invented by John Roberts; the drummer did not believe that! However, John did not invent his smart tuner yet then...

Also, I once experimented with small speakers in plastic globes. They sounded great, as well. I suppose, bare drivers would sound as well, but drier, with shorter decay due to lower Q.
