Need Help - with Capacitors for Cerwin Vega 380 SE


Fido

Recommended Posts

I gave my old Cerwin Vega 380 SEs to my nephew a few years ago. To me the crossovers sound out of spec. Here is a picture of one of the Crossovers out of one of the speakers. Can anyone help me identify the capacitor types and values in this picture so we can replace them to bring them back to spec? Thanks in advance for any help any of you can provide?

The silver one I can read is a 40 microfarad non-polarized electrolytic. It says 110 volt but that is overkill for a speaker, you could get by with a lesser voltage rated one but keep the 40 microfarads the same. I can't make out the silver one on the right from your shot but it looks like an electrolytic as well. I would just replace those two first and see if it sounds better. Electrolytics are the ones that dry out and go out of spec. The other yellow ones are mylar or film caps and are PROBABLY OK.
