Re: High quality bipolar electrolytic capacitors for crossover? (80uf)

I general rule in crossovers is that if any value of a component is too high or too low, then omit it. You will not hear a difference. Many times a modeling program will recommend a cap of 50, 100, 400 uF. You will find if you simply delete it from the XO, the circuit will give the same result. Same with 1 ohm resistors, 50 ohm resistors, 24mH coils (not in a subwoofer circuit).

General rule, try it.
