wheelman Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Can I use a 2.2 uf value cap in the 2.uf position ( treble)? If so or not what would it do. Also a 5 percent nominally tolerance so it's possible it could land around 2.uf anyway or even higher.

Guest David H Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I typically find the caps err on the lesser side, will probably be close enough. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not sure I understand. Is 2.2 ok? Or you mean something lower than a 2uf? Its about availability for me as some of the caps I prefer to try are only in the 2.2 range, and anything differing would be custom orders. Which means even more spending.

PrestonTom Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 In this application, the difference between 2.0 and 2.2 is trivial . Go ahead and enjoy the music. -Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InVeNtOr Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 agree with above, the 2.0 is just fine. FYI, Klipsch caps are 10% so the range is 1.8uf-2.2uf. if you are buying good after market caps, typically they will be 5% or even better 1%. a 5% 2.2uf is 2.09uf-2.31uf. (2.178uf-2.222uf for 1%) the only advice i would suggest, is replacing both and having them matched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANT Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I've found that I prefer 1.8uF in this type of situation but there isn't anything wrong with using 2.2uF... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
