After the $1.25 tweak there was a company that made a plastic square about three inches high with plastic sheets that vibrated loosely. I forget their name
The concept here is simply energy TRANSFER. We are attempting "wick" away some of the energy into the air at a frequency which is not really audible. The dimes will vibrate, but not loud enough to interfere with your listening. It will thus take some of the energy in the cabinet and dissipate it in the air.
Some will use very heavy weights and report generally a slight improvement in the bass, primarily because the energy involved is the much lower frequencies. Tweeters are generally on the top and the simple dimes are quite effective for the upper frequencies, at least in my experience.
Try a heavier coin and you will hear the difference.
