Just blow up a cap

I'm a critic, but when the house smells like fire, it's too much power.
AN explosion scared me, but life goes on...

Used R.E.W to soften spiders in my Dayton 390ho.
All went fine first minute, then A BANG, and some caps explode!

To much power

The easiest way to do that to a cap is with too much voltage. Best to burn in speakers raw in free air or smoke is easy to make

OK..... The Philips was a really old one, but you´re tempting/inviting "Murphy" to visit you,
when using polarised cap´s in a crossover. That´s why you have non-polar/bi-polar 😉

Yeay..... they all feel current!...
