Those are from my friend's mod pic. I just did exactly like those, so I think reposting his pic will do just fine

Really amazing what boring ppl can do huh?
That friend of mine was almost bored to death when he started this project.

the quality of sub is not always about bass power...
the recaps make z5500 produce fuller bass and less bass trailing (less boomy), which is very good because z5500 bass is too boomy.

What caps are needed exactly, and could you explain where they need to be soldered to? I am really considering the cap mod, seems simple enough since you are not remove the old caps, just adding in the new ones.

i'm using nichicon fine gold 15.000uF 100v


please don't mind the glasswool, i was experimenting with it... and it sucks!
it's better if u put a sweat based garment to cover the interior walls of the sub.

it should be better if u just remove the old caps and put in the new one.
i myself, want to do the recaps all over again, with bigger caps... ad removing the old one.
