Correct capacitor for Wolfs Pc speakers?

[Gregoire]

Is this, from Parts Express, the correct cap?

500uF 100V Electrolytic Non-Polarized Crossover Capacitor

Thanks, greg

Is this going to be used on a PC? If so, why use any passive components when you can just use the computer to do it. Much more effective and cheaper.

No, the "PC" stands for "perfectly compact" I think. They'll be used with a smart phone.

Hi, Yes essentially, though the cap value seems high, rgds, sreten.

I'd check the modeling in the demo version of Basta! using Zaph's parameters :

Note that they will sound pretty thin without some form of BSC.

I've ordered the caps and drivers. I'm going to power these with a Dayton Audio board (DTA something I can't remember which now, $15 watts I think). This board comes with capacitors which are also supposed to be connected parallel with the speakers. Any problem with using both caps?
