Advent Legacy 2 crossover question

[mplsbob]

I'm wanting to recap these crossovers, and find these two caps on the board:

Culver 32uf, 50vdc, +/- 20%
Culver 6uf, 50vdc, +/- 20%

but no resistor on the board.

I plan to go with Dayton caps
- 22uf electrolytic + 10uf poly + .10uf film bypass = 32.10uf
- 5.6uf poly + .33uf film bypass = 5.93uf

...all at +/-5% tolerance

is that ok?
Thanks

Sure.

If that 32uF cap is in the woofer circuit, you likely won't gain much (if anything) by using a poly cap(s). I mean, if you're looking to save a few bucks...

 

[mplsbob]

Really? Should I just drop in a 10uf and 22 uf and skip any bypassing or poly for the woofer?

 

[MarkAnderson]

That's what I'd do. The general consensus is that better quality caps just don't make an audible difference in woofer circuits.

Perhaps one of the speaker gurus will chime in and offer an opinion. If not, I'll send them all nasty PM's.

Sounds good to me. I'll spend a little extra on the 1% polys for the tweeter, then. Thanks!
