Right cap?
I ended up using 470's. And some members like 330's. The LARGER the value of the cap, the more bass that is allowed to stay in the door speakers. I tried a 235 and it just took TOO much out.
But I SURE like this mod!!!!!!!!!!
Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson and T'Pau and Jackson Browne and Meatloaf never sounded better!

HEY, wait a minute - is that a NON-POLARIZED capacitor? The ad doens't specify... trying to dig up something on it.
I REALLY don't think that is a non-polarized cap. The others in the series aren't.
Try MOUSER.COM! You can search using their site and specify non-polarized. Their prices are at or below Radio Shack, but of course, you'll pay shipping.
But I SURE like this mod!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, you really want a NON-polarized cap. A Non-polarized one will hold up longer as it can tolerate being subjected to what is essentially a reverse polarity condition when audio is passed thru it.
Should you use this cap, failure will take one of two forms:
the cap dead shorts - which is like not having it in there at all - and the system will sound like it does now.
The cap opens up - meaning that speaker goes dead.
Neither failure is likely to cause the cap to burst - so you might try it for now and see how you like the sound.
If you go up several posts, you'll find the MOUSER number for the caps I ordered (330's and 470's) - you can order from them online or with a phone call. I'v bought from them many times since 2000 and have not had a bad part OR a big delay in shipping yet! A search of their inventory will show values of 100 uF to 1,000 uF - they have most values in stock.
