Here is before and after mod pic.

Lol, i used tape to temporarily trying to hold them together.

The tape didn't really do much, it caps are in those positions already.

the black cap was Axon TrueCap 82uF 250VDC.
that alone cost $28.40

the rest are all sonic caps and mills resistor

    Is it necessary to modify the orange/red coils? one rectangular shaped and one circle shaped. would there be a difference in quality?

    It is a good thing to modify the one with the iron core (the larger one) but it would cost another 20-40 dollars per speaker most likely... and it would be the size of your entire crossover...

    You would have to decide if that is what you want to do. It usually helps with bass response and accuracy.
