I learned decades ago with Acoustats to short one of the two primary leads to the center one first to discharge any remaining voltage from the panels. I've never had any trouble following that procedure.
Honestly, I'm not convinced that adding any more mass to the three inch tubular steel frame will improve their performance. The cores alone weigh about that of a Magnepan 20.7. Then add the massive steel frame and the weight of the backplate power supply.

I remember on my 1+1 and 2+2 Acoustat made it easy.
Here we filled up the struts with led shot but were slick enough to use bags so it came out easy. After filled it with spray foam just to tame some ringing made a difference.
Thanx Bill
Having owned both the 1+1 (still have a pair) and 2+2s, I can tell you there is little similarity between those and the U1-PX.
Each steel frame weighs considerably more than an entire 2+2 including the power supply for a total of 270 lbs each.
