i just did this today. i just tore up an old pillow and stuffed it in my fairing over the speakers. put quit a bit in there ,but could most likely use more. it did make a differance. same poly fill as you can buy, but it's like a big cotton ball.

There is a thread specifically for melting 651's in the audio section also.
The poly fill in IMHO definitely adds heat retention and added to melting them.
Just an FYI for ya'll. Anyone else have similar issues with speaks after the polyfill mod?
you know i was wondering about the heat also,but have not heard of this happening to anyone else. i just used old pillow stuffing and packed it in around the speakers and it made a difference.
