Replacement capacitors exploding

I’m mulling over what I’ve learned, here and elsewhere. I had 17 of these boxes in various stages of disrepair, a handful of them worked sort of OK.

So the first thing I noticed was these blown capacitors, so I posted, but I’ve had a lot of other work to do, assessing blown and not stock drivers, repairing jack plates, and cleaning compression diaphragms and painting duratex etc.

i’m not sure all of them had drivers that met the stock ohm rating, that may have been a factor, although so many of them were blown I have a hard time believing that accounts for everything.

My gut tells me that the bipolar capacitors, while rated at the same voltage, simply couldn’t take the same degree of abuse that the non-polar ones did.
I think I’m going to biAmping a lot of them and rebuild a few of them with really nice crossover parts for when I’m doing smaller gigs and just need a simple set up.

@jamessheyser- If you have blown woofers, Klipsch used 15", 8 Ohm, Eminence, in most of their stage monitors.
     Parts Express carries a wide variety.     Eminence sells direct.    
ie:  https://www.eminence.com/speakers/speaker-detail/?model=Alpha_15A   
and: https://www.parts-express.com/search?order=relevance:desc&keywords=15%22%20eminence     
     The drivers you have, probably were obsoleted, some time ago.  Someone like Bill, at Millersound, if given model numbers from the backs of the woofers and horns, could probably give you any pertinent info.    
       You may discuss having them re-coned, or buying new diaphragms which would save a few bucks

       If you're in the Central Florida area, try these guys;

       Don't tell the guys at CFS I sent you.     They'll inflate the prices!  
        I was their competition, for a few years.      Then again: that was forty years ago.

Some are definitely 4 ohm (stock). I have three generations of these so it's hard to know what is or is not stock. Even some of the Klipsch K-43 drivers seem different. And some for sure aren't stock. 

@jamessheyser-    Again: try contacted Millersound, with the driver numbers.    He should be able to fill in the blanks (ie: even whether stock, or not), for you.

Why it was necessary to replace??
if you connected them backwards, they will explode 🤯
