There are small risks that prevent manufacturers from adding these small tweaks that would be added headaches to the company. Also for the riser, most manufacturers focus their attention on aesthetics of subwoofers and the mainstream market who need subs with the WAF. Some manufacturers do include certain amounts of Poly-fill but generally all subwoofers and many speakers would benefit from some sort of extra isolation and stuffing. Many subwoofer manufacturers also focus on the bottom line which is using the least money to make a product with the biggest profit margin.

oh i agree, i asked because i hear so much of it on the site. i think at times everyother post on the polk audio is (or was at one point) about stuffing something into speakers or subs or raising and like i said how come it doesn't just come that way if it has such a profound impact on the product? first i'm lazy like that and second i don't want to take any chances with my stuff, doing anything to it that might void any warrenty, risk damage to it or to my house i.e. fire (not saying any of these things will happen) i just don't want to take any chances. for me my speakers and sub sounds great just the way they are. i really wanted to get others feedback that are for (having done it or not) or against (having done it or not) and why they are on either side of the fence. i want to learn more, isn't that what we are supposed to be doing here!
