Caps on a Powered Sub

Orpheus10,
Thank you very much!

Correction on my last post. Parts Express would be better able to help you than me in regard to how to replace the capacitors. Ask if there is enough room to replace existing caps with "poly" caps

You have to examine the existing crossovers to both speakers. You want to "replace" the capacitors with the same UF, "that stands for micro farad, and it will be printed on the capacitor". VDC will also be printed on the capacitor. It's OK to go over the VDC value but never under. The UF must be the same as the cap you are replacing. Better caps will be larger and probably different, but not in UF.

Orpheus,

Thanks for trying to help but I have to tell you I am very technically challenged on parts and where they go. Are you saying add them to the existing crossover in the powered sub (below) and then attach a cap to the speaker wire on the bookshelves? Once I decide what to do, I do have someone that can help with my technical shortcomings.

Why not both.

I did not get any caps yet. I was asking where do I put them? The bookshelves, the powered sub, etc.

What are the voltages and UFD of the capacitors?
