Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub


I'm upgrading a Zu Undertone Mk II sub.

- I'm gonna recap it, since I've found the caps are a lower tier brand.
- The cabling to the driver itself looks real good.

BUT, the wires for the signal input. Would you upgrade them? I'm thinking... they are really thin. See pix in link.

ALSO: other things to consider?

I’ve looked at the WIMA FKP-1s now. I see that I have similar looking parts on the boards. Are these the same types? Because I see they look different than regular can types of electrolytic capacitors.

If they are the same types, are these the ones you’ve also switched out?

@almarg

thank you for the fix. Stupid mistake.


ALSO: Edited one of the images. The green circled cables will be swapped. But I'm thinking... the red circled cables are also the link to the driver. Betting this should be swapped, too? If yes then I'm betting it would be easier to do if I removed the connectors/ports... Or maybe not. Maybe resolder the connectors.
@OP,
Doug Schroeder is someone who's opinion I trust.  If he says it will make a difference, I have no reason to doubt it.

Dear @eyrepm : No, Wima are not for a change instead the electrolytic ones.  I posted before see the pictures.

@douglas_schroeder   has it correct. 

If you want an easy and inexpensive, but good upgrade to the leads between the amp and the subwoofer, go to Lowes or Home Depot and pick up a couple of spools of Southwire 10 gauge THHN stranded copper wire, red and black.  On each run, wind the cables around each other (twisted pair) at maybe one to two complete turns per foot.  

The 12 gauge stranded version of this stranded wire wound two to four turns per foot is really quite good for amp-to-main speaker runs.  




Absolutely not, stick to the big electrolytics.

Now, on the other hand, you sound ready to build your own speaker kit, come over to the dark side and let me show you how you can start ....
