Default Re: Biggest stereo bang for the buck mod

The previous owner had put them in.
The ones in there are the ones in black shown here which are 330 UF 100 V
The ones I installed are the small blue ones which are 220 UF 25 V and it sounds much better
So what are the differences between all these ?
I still don't understand other than the final sound that comes from the speakers.

When you say "sounds much better", what sounds better? Do you have more bass? Louder without distortion? More punch from the subs? What is better and what kind of music are you listening to? I am guessing that the lower value cap is allowing more bass to the door speakers and maybe giving you a fuller sound? Is it possible that the previous owner replaced the door speakers with a better unit that could handle more bass and never knew it because of the caps?
