500+ Head-Fier
Like the title says, I'm going to be putting AD2000 drivers in my AD900 headphones. Why, you may ask? Because I purchased the drivers for $94 directly from Audio Technica, and I don't want to dish out $600 for a pair of headphones.
Here's some pics right now of my problem. Any ideas on what I can wedge between the driver and the ring holding the driver in place? Got it. I just got some of my soldering wire (two pieces), wrapped it around the groove in the driver so it makes a ring, and clamped it in place. If anybody is going to replicate this, make sure that if you use solder, you have tape around the place where the PCB is. When the solder ring touches the PCB, it shorts the connection.

I modified the grill on the AD2000 driver. When the bass hit at around 40Hz and below, the membrane had a tendency of hitting the grill. So, I took it off and pushed it outwards. There's also some pics of the ring I made to make the driver thicker.
Because of the thickness of my earpads with the cotton underneath, the driver grill doesn't even touch my ears, and the piece I put on there just improves the comfort.
Oh, and for you guys that want to replicate this mod, the three screws holding the driver in place are those triangular screws that are a bit** to get out. I stripped mine trying to take the drivers out. What I did was I took the screws from my Pro700MKII and substituted them. Works perfectly.
If you guys are interested in the pre-existing mods that I did to my headphones, check out my Audio Technica AD900 Bass Mod thread.

EDIT: Read this post for more information on the grill modification.
