Hey I have a quick question for the tech type AK'rs.
Recapping my Infinities and parts from PE just arrived.
I selected all the same values from the old XO and went with 400volt since only 250 and 400 are now available.
Also, Infinities are known to blow up my old amps so tried to err on the over-engineered side.
My question is, why are the new caps so much larger than the stock ones Infinity used?
Especially the 82uF cap used in the woofer circuit? It is huge.
I thought new caps were suppose to be smaller than the 35 year old models, so I've always heard.
I can make them fit on the old board but it will take some creative placement, some wood shims and lifters and a few sticks of hot glue.
This is the new ones.

This is the stock board still in the cab.

Am I doing this right? I've triple checked all the values and schematics to be sure I ordered the right parts.
Maybe someone could direct me to an appropriate thread that won;t take 9 months to get an answer?

Believe it's a matter of better construction, And being able to pass lower frequencies without distortion. Remember, Recapping can change the sound, Even with same values. Almost always for the better. Your good, Carry on

One of rock's greatest guitarists, one of rock's greatest drummers, and one of rock's greatest bass players. Aptly named CREAM.
Are they the greatest power trio ever? That could cause a heated discussion.
