Thanks for the caution F1
The mod went fine. The caps are all soldered and glued in. I left a ton of space around the resistors so that I have room to work later.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find my camera's USB cable right now, so photos will have to wait. I did run into some 'justification' along the way.
I had previously removed the left speaker's xover to inspect it and get the right values... but I've never been in the right cabinet before tonight.
Well... when I pulled the right xover, I knew right a way that I was in trouble, because somebody had been in there before and labeled the connectors. It looks like the previous owner had blown a poly-switch and to fix it he simply twisted the switch around until the leads contacted each other and jumped the switch. Well, the switch was completely burned up, as was part of the 12uf capacitor nearby. Lots of chalky black stuff was on the PCB and the end of the capacitor, and almost no evidence of the polyswitch remained, other than a little bit of the coating.
So right there, I feel justified in doing this modification. The system is back together for now, and sound pretty good. I can't make a judgement on the mod really just yet, as the caps are nowhere near broken in. I will say that immediately I notice more depth though.
M resistors will be in Tuesday. When I do them, I also plan on applying dnamat to the baskets of the woofers and PR, as well as appying mortite around the basket rings.
