They are tuned passive radiators (along with the back cover to the cabinet) to dampen out cabinet resonance peaks to smooth out the overall sound response from the set.

See my site: http://www.philcorepairbench.com/tips/svctip38.htm

Accoustic Clarifiers are described farther down in the article.

Adding a non-working speaker in the hole probably won't make any "Golden Ear" difference. I'd just cover the hole on the inside with some cardboard.

If the back of the set is missing on the lower portion where the speakers are, then the Accoustic Clarifiers really are not doing anything.
