The tape goes on the speaker box to fairing interface. I put 1 layer of polyfil in the housing. Those boxes look really small to allow air movement but what do I know.
I put the tape on the leading edge of the tray where it contacts the lower when you slip it into place. It prevents the two pieces from vibrating together and holds the tray in place during install. I then put one layer of polyfil in before installing the speakers.
