upgrading caps -- easy to do?


I love my pair of ML Aerius i, and would like to get the most out of them. I have never done any DIY project, but believe that upgrading the caps in the crossover would yield significant improvements.

Is this something I could do, with no experience? Could I also do the same with the internal wire?

What would I need to complete the project?

The main thing you need to do this project is some money. Oh, and a soldering iron and solder.

Audiophile grade capacitors and inductors for the typical two-way speaker will set you back about $200 per speaker. The most difficult part of the job is figuring out a good place to locate the new components, which will be a lot bigger than the originals.
Rewiring is less complicated,I did rewire mine with
a little help from a friend.But use good wire.I used
siltech with my ML Quest.The result will satisfy you.
I have not try cap upgrade.
Dear Dennis,

You are correct, upgrading the caps will provide positive effects.

***Is this something I could do, with no experience? Could I also do the same with the internal wire?***

You bet, take your time with your cap selections and rewire piece by piece and you are going to be fine.

Soldering iron, don't skimp on the solder quality (we favor Cardas as it is fantastic and very easy to work with), time and most important... funds. It will be a very rewarding experience. Dan
