[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8887649, member: 682903"] I would suggest sticking to non-polar capacitors (also called bipolar). Regular electrolytic caps don’t like the AC waveform out of an amp and can fail / not filter correctly; crossover caps are always NP / BP and are marked as such. I don’t know if this was mentioned or not, didn’t see it, but maybe I missed it. This mainly applies to electrolytic capacitors, which such high values bass blockers need to be, will almost certainly be electrolytic, and if DIY’ing them. If you buy actual bass blockers they will already be the right type. [/QUOTE]
