Yamaha NS-344 Crossover

The big gray cap at the top right of the last pic is the one in question. The label doesn't show in that pic but from the earlier pics at the top of the thread this is the "2.5M" cap. I notice that the high level pot and tweeter leads are on the other side of that cap. That points to it being a 2.5 microfarad cap not 2500. Typical rating for a tweeter cap.

The only place you'd see 2500 uf is in a woofer circuit, maybe. Even then it's rare. The woofer cap on this speaker is the 47 uf, again typical.

So what you need is a 2.5 uf cap of at least 160V rating. The Dayton metallized polyprop from Parts Express that I like to use on most speakers are rated at 250V. In fact it's hard to find an audio grade cap not rated at least 150V these days.
