I guess I always had vintage gear and never noticed before.I just picked up a new Ampeg SVT 1x15 to go with a used one I just bought.
I used to work in construction and hate fiberglass insullation,the itch and the smell.
This happened when I bought my Epifani 3x10 new also.I guess playing it blows the fibers out the ports,but man...
My question is,will it go away? Is there a sollution ?

Why don't you have someone less sensitive pull out the glass fibre and replace it with Polyester Batting.  |

Using staples or spray adhesive, line all of the interior surfaces with mattress pad foam - the eggshell shape type. Can get a huge sheet of it at Walmart for $15, and it will most probably sound better than the fiberglass did.

But about cabs, I have noticed that most fibreglas lined speakers it tends to pull away from the sides and flop around inside eventually.
