Default Re: Biggest stereo bang for the buck mod

Taking advantage of the warm weather here in SC (set a record of 74F yesterday!), I installed the 'biggest bang for the buck' stereo speaker mod this morning. Used 270uF, 63v non-polarized capacitors bought off Amazon. Got 5 capacitors for $10.50. What a difference in stereo sound! Thanks to pelked1 for the write-up. Piiece of cake!

I would recommed the following to others planning on doing this upgrade, if you intend to direct connect the wiring & capacitors using a crimp connector. Place the crimp connector on the exposed wiring and then insert the capacitor connection into the other end of the crimp connector. After the crimp connector is in place, crimp both ends to secure the connection. Even with twisting the exposed wiring, it is difficult to insert the wiring into the connector if the capacitor connection is inserted first.

Later,
