Luckily I "had" a friend in the speaker DIY biz and he was giving me some of the inside trade "sales" secrets. Caps are the number one rip off. After you hit a cost point you're just paying for hype. He recommended, so I now use them, ClarityCap ESAs. JUST as good as the $100 caps.

If you are going to rebuild the crossovers then just, get better resistors and clean up all connections. LEAVE!!!! the coils. Coils DON'T go bad and are used for their resistance value as well as mH values. A coil is nothing more than a spool of copper wire - NOTHING to go bad!!!!
