Funny comments Mr. Mark III.
Sandbagging was a means to provide temporary rather than permanent change to the cabinet. Once you load up the cavity with wood, will be much harder to remove.
I have an issue that I need to resolve, considering the vibrations in the floor and the metal duct underneath the floor makes me think there is something wrong with my cab. I will have to put the casters back on an see if there is a difference.
Yes, most cabinets are designed with specific tune in mind. A change in the resonance of the cavity may effect the sound in a good or bad way. Making a guess is just that, and may not turn out as you would expect. Since I do not fully understand the mechanics involved other than basic physics, there is more to sound wave propagation and peak resonance of the cavity based on shape, size, and volume. Most cabs are designed with modeling software that take in account the volume of the speaker (basket, cone, driver magnet), properties of the structure and so on. Sure it is a model and there are variations in wood density that may change from one material to the other, as well as environmental conditions (atmospheric pressure, humidity, temperature).
