Well, for Quatro's a PC change was pretty big for me...

I switched to some older Elrod Signature PC's to feed the subwoofer amps, and I was quite surprised by the improvements they wrought. I was expecting more bass "grip" and texture, which I got and appreciated, but the speakers' sound definitely improved well up into the midrange, which I was not expecting at all. Toggled the cord difference a few times, and there was no doubt that I liked the aftermarket PC's much better. I'd bet pretty good money that this would work at least as much magic for some 5's as it did for my Quatro's.

To get them working with the cooling fin restrictions on the back plate of the speakers, I used some Voodoo Cables IEC extenders that just fit in the space and provide ~3.5" of extension. I have seen a couple of 5 owners that actually "Dremel'd" away some of the fins to allow for complete access to the IEC's and I almost did the same, but.....never got the guts to do so, and I just recently sold the Quatro's after switching to a different speaker.
