In Reply to: replacing parts inside a warrantied component posted by BS64 on September 15, 2000 at 02:49:11:
I would caution you that ANY time you modify a stock piece of equipment, you ARE voiding the warranty. So, you need to ask yourself if there is a risk that you will blow up the component in the process. If the answer is yes, can you afford to replace it? Is the potential for improvement worth the risk? Do you understand the circuit well enough that you could trouble shoot it and repair it if you did blow something up?These are the questions I ask myself before I start modifying something. With all due respect to the other poster, I would be careful about thinking that you can put the unit back into its original condidtion and still think you have a valid warranty. It is much easier to do so with speakers, but I am still not sure that I would count on it. Keeping the old crossover is a good idea however. If and when you decide to sell the speakers, you may decide to sell them as stock units and thus it would be okay to put the stock crossovers back in with good conscience.
I hope this helps. Don't be afraid to modify things, because there is typically GREAT benefit in doing so. In fact, I just had amazing success modifying a CD63SE lately. Thanks to Bobwire's and Thorsten's excellent writeups, I was able to transform the player radically. It is however very time consuming, tedious and labor intensive.
If you have never modified anything, I would recommend starting with something that you can afford to break and then go from there...
I hope this helps.
Take care,
