Your right good catch, guess I was excited to see a duelund for 55 bucks. Well have to make a different choice, thanks Deang.

 

you could also get all you need at Parts express.. Dayton 50uF cap, Jantzen .75mH 18awg inductor and the 15ohm Mills resistor

Yea I looked at that but I really want to go with a 12 or 14 gauge coil. I don't think 18 gauge from PE would be that much of an upgrade but then I don't much experience at this. Looking at mundorf mkp and solen 14 gauge coil, thoughts. Thanks!

My thoughts, again,  are spend your money on caps, not inductors.  IMO, at gunpoint and blindfolded, you would not be able to distinguish one inductor from another. Others may disagree.

I am new at this but was also looking at clarity SA cap 50uf at 61bucks each. If got these I would have to do other xover upgrades at a later time. Thoughts, suggestions.

I mostly agree with this. 

 

These are affordable and very well designed.

You don’t need the higher voltage rating of the SA, and the CSA uses a newer construction method with better lead 

I like those and they are more in line with my budget, I will have to order a pair. Would the solen or maybe another brand at a lower gauge be better than the PE? Not trying to argue just trying to learn from your experience, I don't mind spending more if the SQ is there. But if the PE will work I will get it, a mills resistor and be done with it. Thanks!
