marems Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm replacing the electrolytic caps in my CF-4's woofer section with Bennic Electrolytics and Raw Mundorf electrolytics. My question is are they polarity sensitive? Do I need to install the leads in a certain way?? I'm new at installing the electrolytics. I know that film caps don't matter for polarity. I just want to be sure. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) If the original woofer electrolytic caps indicate that they are Bi-polar,(which they more than likely are) then it should not matter how you install them with respect to polarity. A bi-polar cap should indicate that it is bi-polar, and it won't have a stripe indicating ground.
