Has anyone modified a Miller & Kreisel subwoofer


Hello
I wanted to pose a question to the general audience here...I am the owner of a pair of ,,,well,,, not sure if you can call them vintage but Miller and Kreisel (M&K) S-2B's two way satelites with a matching V-2b sub.This is a great match for what I am trying to accomplish with my set up,but of late I have been curious about modifying the Subwoofer as I notice it is sort of slow and muddy,I would also like it to have more control,when I say I now notice b/c as my system evolves,these shortcomings are more evident.
I would also like it to have more control.
My question is this has anyone had any success with changing the caps within the sub,to maybe a teflon cap(faster,more transparent cap) ala V-caps is this posible?
I'd love to keep this SUB,is this an example of diminishing returns as the SUB is now dated?

I have an M&K V2-B that needs a new amp. I replaced the driver with one from Mavin a few years back and now the amp has died. The original amp does not appear to be one of the ubiquitous Class D plate amps. There’s a plate on the back with some circuitry but in the bottom of the cabinet there’s a medium sized transformer and two decent sized caps. When I replaced the driver I simply connected the wires from the old driver to the tabs on the new driver. EZ-PZ. Dayton makes a reasonably priced class AB subwoofer amp the would fit in the existing box if I enlarge the hole. My question is if I can simply connect the driver to the Dayton amp or are there other considerations? The driver is rated for 250W RMS and the amp outputs 273 @ 8 ohms so they seem a good match. Thanks- hoping this old thread might revive, will also search for a newer one.
