I recently ordered 2 Alcap 8 Mfd 50 V electrolytic caps to replace the ten year old ones in each of my speakers crossover. They are the exact same brand and both say 8 Mfd 50 V on them. However the new ones are smaller (about maybe two thirds the size of the old ones). At first I thought they sent me the wrong ones, but double checked the one in my my crossover and was surprised to find it is indeed the same value and voltage specs as the new ones I got. I guess that's all that matters but wanted to see if anyone here has experienced "downsizing" with electrolytics. Thanks for any input.
