Speaker crossover mod. Your advice?

I'm considering modding the crossovers of my Focal 1027s. Specifically, I am thinking about replacing the capacitor associated with the tweeter. I have received some helpful advice from another A'gon member who has done a similar mod to his crossovers (on a different model speaker from the same manufacturer).

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from folks who have experience with this sort of thing. In particular, what sort of improvements can be achieved with this kind of mod? Any thoughts on which caps to use? Any common mistakes I should avoid? Is the whole thing a bad idea?

Thanks for your input.

You can try another (more expensive ) cap as long as it has the same value and has the appropriate voltage of the focal one .
More expensive isnt always much better though and ive tried a lot believe me , duelund being the rolls royce of caps.
If you dont replace the same value you will change the intendid balance of the speaker.
I dont think there will be any manufacturer guarantee either.
mundorf is also good stuff , i use a silver / oil at the moment with the diamond tweeter .
