Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover

You'll find out if you nice symmetry when your finished.  The folks at Madisound are nice folks, but through the years, I've learned to get it right, I had to do it myself.  I didn't always get accurate advice. Hopefully, all will work out well for you. I started building speakers in 1979 and started in the speaker business in 1980.  

@I really appreciate your interest and input

You will note in the picture is the infamous pink mystery cap that prompted the start of this thread, which has since measured at 2.25mF. I’d be curious if there is anyone out there who can tell me that the color code matches my measurement.

The capacitor value is 2,200,000pF or 2.2µF which is within tolerance of your measured value at 2.25mF.

Because the first and second digit both are red (2), that’s why the color band look thicker than other bands. The third band is green (5) represents the multiplier, the fourth band is white represents 10% of tolerance and the bottom band is red = 250V.

@imhififan That is good news to hear your take on the value. The cap was somewhat damaged as I removed it from the circuit board so I was just a bit concerned about whether it would measure accurately.
@timlub What kind of speakers to you build? Do you do this professionally? I also built my first speakers in the 70's, 6x9" with whizzer cones in a shoebox sized wooden cabinet and lamp cord to be used as external speakers run by my parents protable record player. Can't say I pursued it much further when I got a chance to buy some used AR2's I was a happy camper.

Hi, @bruce19 I started modifying speakers when I was a store manager at CMC Stereo. I visited the audiophile shops in the St. Louis area regularly. We had a retail store called SpeakerCraft that custom built speakers. In 1980, I took a job as General Manager at SpeakerCraft, we had a division called Marcof Electronics, we built Moving Coil head amps, cables, modified cartridges, tables and built several Amps and Preamps..
It was there that I established a fairly in depth knowledge of Speaker Design. I had a good enough foundation that over the years, I was able to expand my knowledge to a complete understanding of speaker design. The owner there had and still has a full knowledge, but when I left, I just hadn’t absorbed it all yet. I have done hundreds of repairs and builds in the past years, even here on Audiogon, I have done several modifications, a couple of repairs and a couple of designs for members. In my Listening room, I currently have an MTM with 6.8 inch woofers and a dome tweeter, I have a 3 way with a paper cone 10 inch woofer an aluminum 5 inch mid and a ribbon tweeter, I have a pair with the top end Heil AMT with a 12 inch woofer and I am currently enjoying a 15 inch woofer and 1 inch dome in a 2 way. These speakers are 86 db 4 ohm, 87 db 8 ohm, 94db 8 ohm and 95 db 5 ohm. So, that’s the best I can answer, what kind of speakers I build... As far as professionally building. My 15 inch 2 way turned out so radically good and most audiophiles would not believe a 15 and dome to be able to sound as it does, that I truly explored going into manufacturing. I bought domains, registered a name, but no shows, my industry contacts are as old or older than I am or worst... Dead. So, recently I bailed on that Idea.
