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! ;-)

Congrats on your mods.  Which x-over caps did you use?  By double x-over caps do you mean using a bypass cap?

I'm not a modder but from what I've read Sean will offer lots of ideas to improve Omen performance.  I kind of like the sound of mine as is and I've compared Omens directly with Zu models up the chain, so I'd be afraid to mod mine too much, but that's just me.  I did the ClarityCap upgrade myself and that hits the limits of my modding ability.

Zu used to use a parallel resistor but then I believe for Omen Mk II they switched supertweeters and found it was no longer necessary.

What did you use for internal wire and how did you get the binding posts out to rewire them?
