If you want to hear those little caps go bang - you won't do it with 15 pitiful volts - hook some AC line voltage across them!It was a favorite apprentice trick at my first electronics job way back - wire a 100uF/25V cap to the end of a powercord - push it along the floor under some other guys chair further on down the test bench row - plug it in and our 240VAC would do the rest...!
Got the whole area's attention!
