WTB 6800uF 100V For Amplifier

Wanted to buy
Yea Man.
I thought they were making caps smaller not bigger.
You can get ones that fit but not screw terminals.
I could get Snap in ones and bridge it over with thick wire.
I didn't want to do that but it looks like thats one of the options I have.

Yea man unbelievable. I'll have to go with snap in.
Ive tried them all CPC ,Farnell ,Digikey ,Mouser ,RS Components.
The problem now is the ripple current. The snap in ones can't handle as much as the big screw in ones. Best Screw in that was close ,was Kemet ,14.4A ,It was just too tall at 107mm. Highest Snap-in was 6.6A. Theres a fair few that are not in stock aswell.
The only other option which i doubt I'd do ,is to make a bigger Lid for the Amp. So I can get the biggest caps I can get in there.😎
The Amplifier is a Crest CA4.
I got some caps anyway. 10K 100V.
Cheers
 
The Amp is going into protect when I turn up either of the volumes. Seperately. The fans speed up aswell.
They come out of protect when I turn them back down.
I'll try again tonight and see exactly what its doing. Lights etc.
Cheers
