By combining capacitors would you just solder them end on end? Big one first? I have a ton of soldering experience but I don't know the science very much. And what don't you like about the Dayton stuff? Have you done an A/B comparison? Is that different? I have well trained ears but I also don't need the most amazing system. I was given these speakers so I don't know how much difference it will actually make between the Dayton and something like the Clarity caps. I'm not going to spend any more than $50 a speaker to re-cap them.
Help with crossover capacitors
I am re-capping some Altec Lansing 890C Bolero speakers. They have 6uf/50volt and 3uf/25 volt caps. What will change if I use 5.6uf and 3.2 caps? I can't find the exact 6uf and 3uf values. Should I go a little bit higher on those values or lower? Any suggestions? I'm looking at Dayton, Mundorf or Jantzen caps but I'm open to suggestions.
