Hi, Friends.
Might be a silly question...
I have to use some capacitors on my drivers. I'm actively amplifying them and on the HF units, I want to have a cap in line with the driver in case of a surge it does not blow the driver.
I only need one cap of 10uF. Can I just zip tie this directly to the enclosure (using Solid Wood)? I haven't worked with passive components in a long time so I'm not sure how hot they get.
Thanks!
Joey

It won't get hot like a resistor, but make sure it won't get loose or vibrate against the enclosure or other parts.
Don't dent the capacitor, either.

Use a polypropylene cap of high voltage rating (say 250V) and you needn't worry about it getting hot.
Thanks for the tips. I have these lying around, they ok? Mundorf 10mfd EVO Oil Capacitor: Madisound Speaker Components
