Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub


I'm upgrading a Zu Undertone Mk II sub.

- I'm gonna recap it, since I've found the caps are a lower tier brand.
- The cabling to the driver itself looks real good.

BUT, the wires for the signal input. Would you upgrade them? I'm thinking... they are really thin. See pix in link.

ALSO: other things to consider?

sorry! Suggestions for better hosting of pics?

Thank you for your inputs! I’ve calculated the prices and I’m just gonna give it a shot. It came to about $100, and another of these subs new will be $3400, unless another freak incident happens and I get another one really cheap.

Off topic: stick to the same model if you’re going stereo subs or just try to match specs?
@rauliruegas
I’ve looked at the WIMA FKP-1s now. I see that I have similar looking parts on the boards. Are these the same types? Because I see they look different than regular can types of electrolytic capacitors.

If they are the same types, are these the ones you’ve also switched out?

@almarg

thank you for the fix. Stupid mistake.


ALSO: Edited one of the images. The green circled cables will be swapped. But I'm thinking... the red circled cables are also the link to the driver. Betting this should be swapped, too? If yes then I'm betting it would be easier to do if I removed the connectors/ports... Or maybe not. Maybe resolder the connectors.

I'm ready! Show me! I've actually been thinking about it lately.

They actually do have this weird oily-ness to them! Thanks for the heads up. So. Nothing to gain from other cables, then, I gather, expect potential health problems?
