Give the speaker time to break in with use. Play it, and see how it sounds. If you like the way it sounds, leave it. If not, go to Wal-Mart & buy some polyfill in the craft section. Fill the box ½ to 2/3 and see if it makes a difference that you like. Leave a space to the opening of the port, or your bass response will suffer. If you don’t like it, you’re only out a few dollars, and you can remove it easily.

Speakers are designed to work from the manufacturer, they don't have to have any treatments inside. I'd leave them as they are.
