Best Capacitors for Crossovers


I am now in the tweaking stage of trying different caps in my crossovers for my DIY homemade 2 way. I presently have and will soon try a 5.6uf 800 vdc +/- 2% Jantzen Audio Silver Z-cap.

I see that Mundorf, V Cap get a lot of accolades, and the Dueland are quite pricey.

Does anyone have a favorite?

I am trying to cross over at about 4500HZ at 6db.

Ozzy, what value cap do you need for that spot?  The value can be different for a given frequency depending on impedance and type of crossover slope.  The Mundorf S/G/O subjective tonal balance is a bit skewed with slightly bright highs and slightly lean bass, so I understand your desire for stronger bass.  And the tweeter crossover components can have a significant effect on the bass considerably below the crossover frequency.  I am not sure why, but that's been my experience a number of times.
salectric,

Thanks for the reply. I need (2) 4.7uf caps for the mid/bass speaker.
I was going to keep the Mundorf SGO for the tweeter section.

You could try Mundorf Supreme on the woofer---the plain Jane regular Supreme.  The regular Supreme has warm, full-bodied LFs, good detail and excellent dynamics.  All of the more expensive Supreme models---Silver, S/G and S/G/O---are thinner in the low end.
