As explained on the webpage, I use two charcoal briquettes although I do cruch them into smaller random sizes in order to play with the Quantity (use a zip lock bad, as the dust can be nasty)Placed between drivers, line of sight to the magnet structure works very well. but you will have to remove the drivers to do so. On your speakers think just the midrange would do. Placed between the drivers it clears up the transition frequencies between the drivers and seems to help clear up what i used to believe was crossover distortion.
Before removing the driver, though, experiment by taping a plastic bag to the side of the cabinet to audition and to determine the right amount. There is no set formula as different drivers have different magnet configurations and strength. I use the painters blue masking tape as it does not leave any residue so it will not mar the finish.
The bigger the driver magnet the more charcoal you will need, of course. Don't overdo it as too much rolls of the frequency response of that particular driver.
If you're ging to leave on the top of your cabinet, find a nice wooden box. Local craft stores often have el cheapo Chinese made project boxes: some kind of very light weight pine, but it sounds better than those nicely crafter hardwoods. You can paint it although I do notice even the finish tends to brighten the sound a bit, So yo may have to readjust the charcoal.
The box on top always seems to wow freinds who come to listen. Easy to remove and replace too.
Have fun. remember that is the whole reason why we're in this.
