These are what I’m using all the specs are listed on the top description
NOOOOO! THE OTHER DRIVERS!!
Please relax Mr. ICG, the men in white suits are on their way.
I know, I've sent them your way.
Here are the specs on my mid range driversNOOOOO! THE OTHER DRIVERS!!

I sent the specs on my mid range driversNOOOOO! THE OTHER DRIVERS!!
Do I understand that you want voices through the big speakers but not to the tweeters at all because they sound tinny with voice. If so move the crossover frequency higher, say 5-6 kHz. Start with changing the current cap to 220 nF and see if this is more or less what you are after, then we take it from there.
Mine are older and it looks like they are using 250v 2.2uf now. Mine came with 100v 2.2uf. Are these what I need to buy?
It seems to me that you are simply asking if you need to upgrade the supplied 100 V capacitors to 250 V ones.
If that is the case, then the answer is no.
Edit: Since you liked Nico Ras' suggestion, I agree that a smaller capacitor value in uF might give a better result.

That confirms my assumption, you need to get a circuit for the woofer/midrange first. To change the capacitor will not solve your problem.
If the frequency is to high, double the capacitor size. If it is then to low, half the capacitor size. It might cost you a couple of capacitors to match what you hear to what you expect.

That's not the issue. He doesn't understand what he doesn't like comes from the mid/woofer and not the tweeter.
The amplifier crossover on them only has full range and Low pass crossover so I need a capacitor on the tweeter that will crossover the output frequencies to have no vocals coming through bc yes they sound like little munchkins yelling at youDo I understand that you want voices through the big speakers but not to the tweeters at all because they sound tinny with voice.

That's excellent advice if it would be the tweeter causing the problem. 😉
I don't see any mention of what he wants with the woofer/midrange so I assume it is only the tweeter frequency range that irritates him.
No, I was tuning the tweeters by themselves and they have vocals coming through bc the amp is only full range and the crossover capacitors on them are letting vocals come throughThat's not the issue. He doesn't understand what he doesn't like comes from the mid/woofer and not the tweeter.

That's wrong. What you are hearing is the addition of the woofers AND the tweeters. You need to reduce the part of the woofers FIRST, then you can tend to the tweeter adjustment.
okay so try what I said in #30. Now to make life easier, buy a few more 2.2 uF caps. Halving the capacitance you put two in series, doubling that you put two series pairs in parallel with the two you used to half it an so on, until you hear what pleases you. It really is a simple process of elimination.
I only tuned the amplifier to the tweeters by themselves, the subwoofers and midrange speakers aren’t even hooked up, this is a bench test of just the fullrange amplifier running the tweeters, four of them.That's wrong.

I don't want to use inductors, it makes the process too expensive, so first see which way this is going and we can tell you how to proceed from there. Do you have access to a couple of capacitors, if not just use the capacitors of the other three tweeters to test the theory and little need be spent on the test.
