How Long Will It Take To Do The Change Out?
2 hours of labor, 12 hours of letting the damping adhesive cure. Most will take about an hour to disassemble the pair of speakers, then another hour of labor to install and reassemble. This is a pretty easy swap out and the video is shot without much in editing, giving you a good idea of time and difficulty.
What Tools Are Needed?
Clean tabletop and blanket or pad, so you can operate on your speakers as they lay speaker drivers up
Soldering iron and your preference for solder (we like 2 - 4% silver bearing
#1 square drive screwdriver
Torx T-20 screwdriver
What Sound Differences Are There Between The Standard, ClarityCap MR, And The Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax Caps?
Comparing the ClarityCap MR to the Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax, the Jupiter gives you a nice bump in smoothness and holography, where the recreated sound space is more “reach out and touch you” and buttery, but without sacrificing any detail in resolution. Differences are most noticed in tone-laden dynamic and dense program material, like singer-songwriter, folk, glitch and noise music. There is less difference between them in big orchestra and modern metal recordings.
What Capacitors Do I Have In My Dirty Weekend Mk.I, Mk.I-B or Mk.II Loudspeakers?
The majority of the Dirty Weekend speakers were built using drivers that were used but factory refurbished (thus the name Dirty Weekend). The majority of these used Eminence APT-50 tweeter drivers that require soldering. DW-1, 1-B and 2, were all built to order, and we offered with basic polypro caps, KimberKaps, Mundorf Silver/Oil, ClarityCap MR, and Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax capacitors as options. Unsure what you have? Flip your Omen Dirty Weekend upside down, shine a light through one of the finger ports in the bottom and look, focusing your gaze on the tweeter. On the back of the tweeter you will see a large blue cap if it’s a ClarityCap MR; large brown colored cap if it is Jupiter Copper Foil & Wax capacitor, small yellow if it is a KimberKap. The standard polypropylene cap is a small sized and may not be visible.
