Sam,
1stly thanks for the complement. Often what I know is very dated or tarnished by my senility so please i urge everything i say to be taken with a huge table spoon of salt or please cross verify my suggestions with someone like Sam. The last time I did an install was in 1996 and the last time i got paid to do an install was in 1981-2. I built my 1st amp in 1976 and speakers in 1972 so now you know.
50mfd (2 x 100mfd in series) is kinda large for the tweeter he can only connect this to the midbass. also I would do one better. get a 2mfd-10mfd / 100V poly cap form say CTR and bypass the electrolytics.
BTW you can get these at any car audio shop too. Atleast I know I can get these at my guy. He will solder them for me too and heat shrink the joints so that we dont get shorts or moisture on them.
I come from the old school. Read as tube amps and lowther drivers etc... a very old school. This forum is like an elixir.
