I need 42.5 uf caps on the woofer zobel network. But the 40 uf caps at PE (the daytons) are $10 dollars each, so instead I ordered four 8.2 uf caps and four 33 uf non-polar electrolytes. I'll wire them in parallel to get the proper value (within tolerances).

Anyway, I'm worried that this lower power cap (the electro) I'm gonna have to replace at a later date. It's only 100 volts.

Is it going to hold up long-term?

Thanks dude.

It was just a bit of a cost-cutting measurement... The total cost of crossovers on these speakers using the mills resistors is roughly $550 american, plus shipping, plus the rediculous duty charges I usually get slapped with (up to and including 50%) along with the poor exchange rate. I'm simply tapped out of money for these speakers, so finishing the second pair may not happen until the summer.

Thanks for the advice. I'll bite the bullet and go with the poly caps.

I'll have to find a good combination to get the value. I'll try out some different patterns and see what can get closest to 42.5uF (the actual needed value) while reducing cost.

I will probably get whacked for these xover parts, too. That's just the price PE charges me, I'll surely get a larger bill when they get to my door.

I purchased my compression drivers and woofers from a local dealer through Mcbride. They don't sell decent crossover parts though :/

Where's this parts connection at?
