Tweaking subwoofer amp - Is it worth it?

207.225.89.26

I have a $180 sub amp that I purchased from Steve at DecWare. It is one of the amps that Parts Express sells. It powers my DIY sub with inputs fed directly from the 8 ohm speaker lugs from my Jolida Tube amp.

QUESTION: Is it worth tweaking this amp by adding larger/more filter caps to the power supply and upgrading bridge rectifier to HEXFREDs? I was thinking of spending a conservative amount of money on the mod, but I thought that more filtering and HEXFREDs could really improve the bass response by reducing noise and PS impedance.

Any thoughts/opinions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
