  1. I just changed my Klipsch ksw-300 capacitors on 7-Aug-2016, I bought my replacement capacitors at Amazon "2 Pcs. 10000uf 80V Electrolytic Capacitor, Snap in , 35x51mm, 105ºC" for $19.99, the only catch was, to take the old ones off, I had desolider 4 spots since the original capacitors have 4 poles (see pix attached). New ones I bought from Amazon had only 2 poles much closer to each other, I sent pictures of the capacitors and the board to a friend of mine who does vintage repair for hobby, he traced the back of the board and told me that the extra 2 legs on the old capacitor were used to anchor it down better, and told me to use the inner 2 wholes and make sure that the polarity is correctly maintained (gray strip, see pix), I had to use a small drill bit and enlarge the inner wholes and the caps fit perfect, after soldering them, I added some silicon caulking to couple of spots around the capacitors to keep them better secured. Also used dab of the same silicon caulk on the side of the screws which keep the board down on the chassis.
