Hey Kevin,
Here's a link to the wire I used:

Good stuff!
Here's a link to a previous post with more pix of the amp if you're curious:

Hope you don't think I'm just fishing for compliments-I am proud of it; especially since it's my first and a huge project right out of the gate-but I just enjoy sharing it with like-minded folks. Not a whole lotta guys doing this kind of thing in Des Moines Iowa...
And I sure appreciate the help-I keep reading my books, asking questions and hoping someday it'll all make some kind of sense!
Best,
mr mojo

It isnt strictly film vs foil that the matter hinges on. A generic foil cap will do better than a generic metallized cap. However, there are some metallized film and hybrid capacitors that will handle as much or more current than foil types, and have self healing properties. The build is much heavier than typical capacitors. These capacitors are mostly used in IGBT snubbers and the like. Be sure to check current and pulse ratings.
The capacitors I listed are popular choices in particularly brutal high current hobbyist applications too, often run at RMS AC= 70% VDC rating.

you can try using X2 Capacitors
if you insist on caps, you might as well use those x2 caps used for line filters as they are designed for line duties.
