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! ;-)

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.

@zuangbro Did you experience needing any burn in? It sounds kinda muffled now. The whole speaker. I guess especially the FRD.

Or maybe I've messed something up.

Sounds strange...

If you did this right, it should sound anything but muffeled.

if you replaced the caps, they will break-in over the next 30-50 hours, and sound great after 200.

make sure that all polarities are correct, + to + all drivers and speakers...
