The white batting is used in all speakers for acoustic reasons within the speaker cabinet.

Which port did the water get in, the front one or the back one? I would be more concerned about the electronics within the speakers where the speaker wires connect if the water came in the back rear port.

To bad you didn't get down to save your speakers in time.
