Used parts express acoustic "eggcrate" foam inside bottom and on the bottom back plate that faces the woofer.
Top compartment only dagger cover which was sealed with loudspkr gasket tape and then 4screws to hold in place.

That looks risky with someone accidentally pushing it.

There are some excellent MTM designs for the Daytons as these beam a lot above 2 khz and are very difficult to control over the xo points

Any suggestions on which brand of speaker available in India would you drive with these .I was looking at elac UB5 ?.My source ipad+DragonFly dac is a limiting factor. I could not get the dayens bs spkrs.

Try elac B6
