Thumbs up Re: Biggest stereo bang for the buck mod

I put in 220's and the sound is 200% better at mid volume, 300% better at high volume, but only about 112% better at low volume. I think I might try a slightly higher capacitor number of 250 to add a wee bit more warmth to the mid range. But I love the subs now....it just gave my Crossfire massaging seats...LOL

Thank you, Danke, Merci, Gracias, Mange Tak, Pelked1!!!!!!

I installed a bunch of 270uF caps for other owners at the Tail of the Dragon meet earlier this spring and got alot of "thumbs-up's".

I tested 220,270,300 and 330 caps using an audio test CD and determined to MY satisfaction that this was the best value to use. It seems to cut off the doors at 180 hz.

JMHO you understand?
