I am leery of changing for the change's sake because I'm keenly aware the subjective nature. I will purchase a pair of type E crossovers and rebuild them so going back will be an option. Are the type of capacitor that came with these available new? If so should I? Yes @henry4841, I think this is the only question pending at the moment. I did not see how old these are. I will leave it to you, @Deang and others to get into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am staying out of serious capacitor discussion. Any brand of capacitor you change to is going to produce a different sound if you hearing is good enough to notice. Change if one must but doubtful if any of the caps in OP speakers are actually what a technician would call bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it will eventually break. I turn wrenches on Harleys. Been doing it long enough that I remember when they deserved that reputation of high maintenance. And I tend to apply that everywhere. Keeps me from having to wonder if I'm worrying about that device. I just know if I need it it will fail eventually. That doesn't bother me. it's when I cannot fix it that does. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Yeah, replace them now and you don’t have to think about anymore. Henry is right, they are probably not “bad”, but they are certainly on their way out. Jim did a nice a job on that page. We speak often and we are very much aligned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Well the problem returned last night. It did indeed follow the crossover from right to left speaker. Time for new caps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 They're getting new caps. I live in a pretty rural town. So with fuel costs what they are I combine trips because nothing is in town. I won't be able to ship until Tuesday so I was just listening to them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezin' Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Got the crossovers back from Dean tonight. They sound better than ever. Currently playing....and doing it justice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
