Hello Everybody , Well i finally got re-capping done on one each of two different sets of speakers. First was my Pioneer CS-66 E , The original caps were pretty close in tolerence but did them anyhow. The reason for doing only one of each was to do a comparison the pioneers took 3 caps, 2uf 3uf 5uf . The result was clearer mid , deeper lows . Will wait a couple weeks to do the other to see if sound changes.
Next were AKAI SW-155s , 3 caps , 16uf 28uf 0.4uf but when checking tolerences one was way off The results were above the rim . Same as Pioneers will wait a couple weeks to compare. End result if you have speakers 50 yrs old do them you will not be sorry. Mind you if they were super ratty i would of sold them But both are in above average shape perfect surrounds and mint grills
