Recently I have been working on a set of AR 4x that I got in a bundle deal. Ser. FX 256038 and FX 256287. On a previous set I had used Dayton caps and have been quite happy with them.
With this set I chose to try some ClarityCap PX20 for these. Pricey little jewels but I was more curious than frugal. I also did a little reworking of the crossover board.
Also I do not have a stapler like the factory used so I chose strategic spots and mounted the board with some screws and washers to achieve a tight mount.
Stuffed the cabinets with the original fiberglass, wired up the drivers, rolled out some duct seal and put them back together.
These speakers are going to live in the workshop with the other set and this gave me an opportunity to compare them. All I can say is there is a difference. The set with the Dayton's is very good, but the Clarity's are somehow brighter, but not in a shrill way. Of course I played with the cleaned pots on all four and dialed each one in to my liking before comparison.

side note: I have another set of these to do still, and I am glad I ordered four of the ClarityCaps!
