I'm thinking about recapping my small PA speakers - 20+ year old Fender 2 ways - 12" + horn.
Anyway, I'm aiming at Dayton poly's. The existing crossovers have 2 caps, one at 4.7 mF, and one at 22 mF.
The Daytons are available as 20 or 25 mF, not 22. Is one or the other close enough, or do I parallel a 10 and a 12?
I guess for starters, I was thinking a 2 way would only have one cap, not 2, so not exactly sure how that works. I do want to keep the voicing close to original - I've earned a living on these for over 20 years, and like and trust them, but... somewhere along the lines of my PA, over the last couple years, I've developed a spike around 4kh - I have to back 4k off considerably with an eq, or the system just 'squeaks'. I'm thinking perhaps a recap would be a good place to starts - these 75 watt rated wonders have many thousand hours performance on them... - end of ramble.
