KG4.2 Crossover Update - what Cap Voltage Do I Need?

Recommended Posts

I know I need one 33uF cap per speaker, but which voltage? I don't know much about cap replacement (okay, nothing). Any recommendations as to the best bang for the buck as far as brand/type goes? Mylar, from what I read, but Mundorf, Claricap, Solen??

I did the Crites Ti diaphragm upgrade, now want to work on the crossovers.

Thanks!

Tom

250Vdc or more in the woofer section and 100Vdc or more in the tweeter section.

Mylar or electrolytic in the woofer section and polypropylenes everywhere else. Dayton Audio are good at the low end of the price scale. ClarityCap ESA series are nice and Mundorf ZN are up there with AudioCap PPT Thetas. You might find your choice dictated by the values you need.
