Disclaimer: Doing this modification will likely void your warranty on your speakers and is done at your own risk. It is also possible to damage the wires or connecters if you are not careful.
The end result of this modification is a much more articulate mid range and low end.
It will slightly change the low frequency response curve of your monitor, so your ears will need to recalibrate to the different sound.
In my case I found the low-end extension to subjectively be slightly deeper, though less warm/woofy and the overall clarity in the low end to be significantly improved.
This is a short description of my process of modifying a Yamaha studio monitor by changing the acoustic damping material inside the speaker box.
The acoustic damping material was purchased from Amazon for a cost of about $30 Canadian and then a bottle of spray adhesive which is about $10 Canadian.
I chose material that was 0.4” thick and roughly 0.95 NRC rating.
