Just bought Zu Dirty Weekends. Out of the box they sounded boxy. Could hear what I thought were internal resonances and the need for more damping. I caulked the wood joints with green glue, Applied a few coats of acoust-X paint, a layer of 1/2 inch foam and 2 dowel braces between tweeter and full range. Much better, even my wife who really does not care noticed. Much cleaner sounding. I am shocked Zu lets these out of the factory without addressing these issues.
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! ;-)
