lol. i dont believe there is a 'cheap' way to get these parts, or else they would be 'cheap' to buy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but ill take a looksee and find if i can get anything. cuz i got some schematics on a nice 6' pair of folded horns for a pair of 6.5's that im itching to build and i have no amplification for them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I still have no idea what a "tube" capacitor is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You mean an electrolytic cap?

And Req - remember, this is only a preamp, not something that will power your main speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif You need a power amp for that...

tube capacitor

is that not what they are called. At least that is what i thought there were.

If that is now what they are called then what is the large glass cylinders on your preamp.

lol tube capacitors, but yes tubes can get expensive if u don't know wtf ur doing...and they are horrendously innefficent unless ur running a low power requiring setup (folded horn, TL)
