It looks like it is meant to protect the tweeter from damage incase it was pressed upon. However, it doesn't seem to me that having this is optimal for the sound, so I was wondering if you all thought that it may be better to cut (carefully ;-). This plastic appendages. Thanks.

You could try removing it, but it most likely would result in poorer response. "If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit" -Mitch Hedberg
