Hi gang, I'm back. I got a pair of tweeters, and now, I find one of the capacitors is indeed leaking, so I'm researching caps, I've read the various threads and reviews here, and, *** am I confused! :P
<p>
If anyone would like to chime in on what might be a decent replacement cap, in the $20 or less range, I'd be much obliged. I'm looking at the Jantzen 1.8uF 800V Z-Superior Capacitor ($12 range), but I'd definitely appreciate hearing others opinions about how this might affect the speaker's performance, or other caps that might perform better (Ideally, I'd like the replacement to come as close as possible to the original specs. I vaguely recall reading somewhere that the OEM caps were automotive tin/oil types, is that correct?)
<p>
Also, apparently the nimrod who put the Realistic brand tweeters in here, hooked them straight up to the input power line, and spliced a cheapy 3.3uf cap on the + terminal of the tweeter. Anyone have a good close-up photo of the type B crossover so I can see how this should be wired correctly? I hope that horrible hack job hasn't done further damage to anything.
<p>
thanks :)
