Try a search in the Tweak Asylum as there has been talk of it over there in the past.I know Tannoy has a feature on their upper end/top of the line coaxial speakers that one can run a seperate GND wire to the coaxial driver basket and some report a subtle change in what can be described as a "lowering of the noise floor".
I have toyed with this idea for sometime but wonder just how effective it would be on a woofer basket.
My speakers are 3 ways with a seperate bass bin and I am apprehensive to drill holes in my cabinets, add a seperate binding post, run a seperate wire to the woofer basket only to find it didn't make a bit of difference. Seems that Coaxial drivers would benefit the most since the tweeter is integral to the woofer.
The basket GND would be connected to the Earth GND of your electrical system.
