Polyfill placement question in monitor speakers.


I have a pair of Acoustic Energy AE-2 speakers that I am refurbishing. I had to remove the poly-fill batting while working on them and never thought to make note of where the poly-fill was originally placed. Now I have to put it back in.

I am wondering if there is a most beneficial area to place the poly-fill. Behind the mids? Around the ports? Pack the tweeter area? Really have no memory of where it was before.

These speakers have 2 mid drivers one tweeter and 3 ports. I am only putting back in what came out. There is not a ton of it so it does not fill the entire space. In fact I'd say there was only about as much to fill 1/4-1/3 of the volume.

These are excellently designed monitors and I'd like to have the damping working as designed.

I would install wool or acousta stuff and fully fill but loosely pack the total cabinet with it. Seems what you had has settled with time and from being removed.
As it turns out almost everyone puts way too much stuffing in speakers. Didn’t anyone ever think, geez, isn’t that suffocating the sound? I guess not. Monkey see, monkey do. You might be surprised to know speakers will sound much better -  more open, better bass and more musical - if you remove all (rpt all) the filler and replace it will only a grapefruit size ball of hollow fiber wool, like lamb’s wool. Check it out.
I'm pretty sure this is Acousta-Stuff (how does one know?) unless they didn't make that in 1987.

These are pretty brilliant speakers. I'm probably not going to go the route of making obtuse changes.

I'd still like to find more about how/where this was dispersed. In the meantime I'll try to evenly fill the cavity.
