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.
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.
