Modding the Zu Omen MKII

Hi all

I am a bit courious as to if anyone else went down the DIY mod path with their Omens?

What are your experiences?

On my mod list (so far)
- New Double xover capacitators
- Adding a parallell resistor to the tweeter
- Stiffening of the cabinet
- Painting the insides with noise-x
- New internal cabeling
- New bolts and fastenings for main elements.

They now sound fantastic! And play in a different league!

And probably more mods to come! ;-)

The 850 will fit, but it will involve purchasing new (expensive) lenses from Zu, and some woodwork... 

There is no way back once you do that.

Using the 475-be’s it can all be returned to original, and you can sell the drivers separate if you like.

Now, remember to put the larger resistor value in parallell/across the teeeter binding posts, and the smaller in series after the cap!

Like this? 

Question: 
- Do the Mills go in this order, or switched around? OR in parallel?
- Are there any other errors?

I also ordered ClarityCaps before I read this.
