Basically those cabinets are balsa wood
After my son crashed one on the floor off the stand and it broke
apart in the back reality of the cabinet quality hit me

The water putty tweak can make the cabs more dense

I suggest pulling the guts of these things and making a 1inch thick
MDF cabinet with the same volume for this driver

I havent seen anyone do this yet

Even with this weight on top of the cab the side walls are breathing
big time on these things

Stuffing the port will make it worse on cabinet reaction

You can drive foam rubber at different densities to see what
works good in that port to stop any chuffing sound
