hai, i'm a student and i want to build my own speakers. i saw a speaker kit on the site jantzen-audio.com with the crossover parts list. but the price for a capacitor 100v 8.2uF is way to high for me so i'm looking on other sites and this one sells
a capacitor 250v 8.2uF.
can i use a capacitor 250v 8.2uF instead of a 100v 8.2uF capacitoror not?
thanks

Using higher voltage parts are not a problem as long as the cap is otherwise the same i.e. a non polarised type as I assume that is what is required here.
the Jantzen Audio crossover list contains alumen z caps, silver z-cap and cross cap. have those capicators also another name?
alumen z caps
As far as I can see are close tolerance, non polarised electrolytics.
Here is a hyped up advert for them;

In my opinion, over rated and lets face it can you detect a 10% change from righ speaker to left speaker in sound quality let alone 3% ... I can't!
