Replacement caps for New Large Advents

[dodog]

Does anyone know the proper replacement cap values for a set of New Large Advents? I believe these are bullnose, with orange tweeters, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance.

Check yourself first because there were two different crossovers made. Mine had a 13 uf cap in each which I replaced with a 10 and a 3. There are other combinations that work for 13, but a 13 uf cap is relatively impossible to find. I got mine at Parts Express.

There are several crossover configurations for the NLA, so the best option is to remove the woofer and the foam insulation and see what's there. The NLAs I rebuilt had a 13uf non-polarized electrolytic that I replaced with a polypropylene cap, and sounded great. I also replaced the two resistors as well.

EDIT: Like Bubba sez, the 13 uf cap had to be replaced by summing a couple of smaller caps. In my case I used a 12 and a 1, both film caps from PE.

Most of the threads I've read suggest using a 12 uf and a 1uf in lieu of the (darn near) mythical 13 uf cap.
