speaker stuffing?

[dis]

<font color='#000000'>I have a pair a bookshelfs and out of curiousity to see what's inside I took them apart, what does all the white cotton fluffing supposed to do?

If I removed it would I get more bass? what would be the benefits/negatives?</font>

<font color='#000080'>You want the speaker and air to propogate sound, not the cabinet. The &quot;stuffing&quot; helps lower cabinet vibrations.

Leave it in there - we actually look for it when doing reviews.</font>
