If your just making a cable that goes to 3.5mm then it will be..
Tip = Right
Ring = Left
Sleeve = Both negatives joined

So I found a used pair of Z7 here on the forums, and the plan was to mod them with the surgical tape and silver wiring. I sat down last night and opened them up to mod.
Lo and behold, they were already modded! The seller either didnt know or didnt tell me. The tape mod was pretty poorly done, so I pulled it out and redid it. Also there was a large disk of foam in the cup, about 3 inches in diameter which I removed. I assume this was part of the mod that was done and not part of the stock cup?
As a second quick question, I noticed while doing the surgical tape mod that I covered the small 3mm or so vent hole going from the front to the back of the driver housing. I assume this is going to have a negative effect and I should open it up again?

So I ended up pulling out the center felts and I like how it sounds. But ultimately they're just a little bright now and my ears fatigue quickly. I'd like to replace those center felts, but I no longer have them. Could I just use medical tape? Or where could I source a small amount of a similar felt?
I have a brand new tape modded pair for sale!
