C107 and C108 (6800pF) on the driver board set a little bit of "voicing" - a dip centered on 2KHz. You can undo this by simply lifting one leg of both caps.
I've lived with this change for a while, here are my impressions. First it's big, you can certainly hear the difference. Second... it's left me wondering if splitting the difference might sound about ideal? It's a tad bright, but I've always thought stock Bevs were voiced ever so slightly dark, if that makes any sense.
There is a second EQ point at 80Hz, this is set by C103 & C104 (.033uF). This one can't be removed, it's way too big. C103 and 104 are the only reason these giant cabinets have any bass at all...
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting.
I find the viicing on my model 2s just about perfect, I do not finf them dark.
A question: are the model 3 also eq’d?
