I have altered the damping material in both my Alon speakers with the combination/addition of 100% "old fashioned" cotton stuffing in the upper 1/4 section of the bass bin where the bass driver is located.

I then shifted the original fiberglass material that was stock, down into the lower 3/4 section. The combo has provided a smoother response/transition from woofer to midrange and due to the 100% cotton density, has tightened up the bass to a small degree and
bass extension seems to go a bit lower as well.

I'll have to check out the Kapok stuff.
