Couldn't hurt but not necessary for acoustic suspension speakers I think. What you might do is add some internal bracing. You can use an old broomstick or other scrap. I run the bracing front-to-back because it's easy and the screw heads are no problem. I'll insert a link if I find it.

PS: Not sure what's available on your side of the pond. Over here PartsExpress sells an adhesive-backed foam gasket material that is great for woofers http://www.parts-express.com/parts-express-speaker-gasketing-tape-1-8-x-3-8-x-50-ft-roll--260-540

I imagine you can find something similar, maybe even some weatherstripping.

The other option is something like Duct Seal http://www.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-DS-110N-1-Pound-Compound/dp/B000BO8XD6 It's used to seal around electric conduit where it passes through walls. Sort of like plasticine (but hands off Wallace! ;);) )

A second for the foam sheets. I used them on my KLH Fives and it worked very well. I bought a compass at Michaels while I was shopping for the sheets and cut them out with some spare razor blades I had in a parts drawer.
