Will a 47uf 100 volt cap block 100 hertz

Going to hook up (2) Anthony Gallo nucleus mini speakers directly to Nad c326bee intergrated amp. Anybody know if a 47uf 100 volt capacitor is sufficient to block 100hertz signals and below so I don't blow these small guys. If not what size? Have emailed Gallo no response. Thanks

If the Gallo is 4 ohms you'd need apx 400Uf for a first order 100HZ crossover and 200uF if they are 8 Ohms

Best of luck

Oops! brain fart, thanks for the heads up, too late to swap.

Cheers George

The capacitive reactance of a 47uF capacitor is 33.86 Ohms at 100 Hertz.

Capacitive reactance = 1/(2*pi*frequency*capacitor value)
