DIY speaker mod- Newbie Needs Advice.

There is a simple mod I want to try on my Snell speakers. It involves removing the attenuation knob on the rear of this speaker and bypassing the fuse. The tech said to replace this with a 1 ohm resistor. I am not kit builder but, thing I should be able to do the soldering. I do not know anything about the part. Can I just get any 1 ohm resistor at radio shack or is one type better than another?
Thanks in advance.

The answers to your question can be heavily dependent upon your tonal preference.

I have no clue on resistors. I generally just burn in anything by listening regularly (sometimes I'll leave the system running at a low volume while taking care of things in the other room). When I've got about 200 hours on whatever I'm burning in, I sit down for some in-depth critical listening, but generally I find things don't sound terrible during burn-in.

Someone else may have a better idea about the typical break-in regarding resistors. It might be a good idea for you to post the specific resistors you're going to use.
