i keep typing base rather than bass....)

i don't know how much resistance to add. i'll wait until i got all the capacitors replace and compare it to the other speakers which is currently unmodified. if i don't like what i hear, i'll just revert back to electrolytic. they are pretty cheap. all of the original base caps are electrolytic and some in the midrange are......the tweeters on the original are all poly and i plan on replacing them with "better" poly from mundorf....

yeah i mean bass.....too much partying last night

Here are better pictures

The midrange driver on one of my B&W 802 stop moving. i listed it at ebay but decided to pull it out and make it a project to fix it. Madisound suggest replacing the capacitor which i did and to my surprise, it did work and it sounds damn good. now i am in a process of replacing all the capacitors since they are about 30+ y/o (the bad speaker first to compare the sound between original and modified). i am installing different brands of capacitor (mostly poly cap some electrolitic) to match the value and fit the tight space. I bought some Mundorf Supreme and Clarity Cap for the tweeter and midrange section and will install them soon. The base is a little louder with the new capacitors. hopefully they will balance out once i replace the capacitors in the tweeter and midrange area. Any other suggestions? i also uncouple the 6 diodes to eliminate the protective circuitry. These are my speakers, they are 32 y/o Crossover at the bottom of the speakers, tight space replace electrolitic capacitors disconnecting the diodes disconnecting the diodes
