Awe-d-o-file,
If it's possible to buy black 1/16” Neoprene 60 Duro gasket rubber rings customized to fit to the exact dimensions of where your tweeter, mid-range and woofer are screwed into each speaker cabinet, then by all means purchase them and save yourself the hassle. Otherwise I recommend marking up and cutting a paper version of each size in order to cut each rubber ring. When buying 1/16" thick Neoprene at the hardware store, why not pick up brass replacements for the ferrous speaker screws and say 'goodbye' to 36 distorting sources of EMI at the same time?
After inserting each rubber ring and screwing the speaker box back into the cabinet, you'll observe that the speaker box is now raised up a 1/16" above the surface of the speaker cabinet. That unevenness disrupts the smooth flow of the exiting air-pressure so causing the music to sound rough. Filling in the triangular gap between the speaker box and cabinet with rope caulk or an equivalent is therefore critical to the success of this remarkably effective tweak.
I hope this clarifies everything to your satisfaction.
DG
