Thanks for the links. Looks like there are some good deals on those sites. I like how the one has flat 3$ shipping.
Thats my biggest complaint about partsexpress. You have to pay 6.95$ shipping for even the smallest orders.

I just bought some caps from Capacitorworld and they will
be in my mail box today..... $7.00 bucks for S/H is crazy.

I never bought from Alibaba, but if you look at the prices / quantities
me thinks this is the source for US distributors.

not a big fan of parts express. I'll order from if only they have what I need.

I usually only buy from PE if I have a bunch of stuff I need (over 100$ so I qualify for free shipping) and a 15-20% coupon.
I recently bought all my resistors and inductors from PE for my Markwarts crossovers. I bought some poly caps for a few other pairs of speakers to fill up the cart to what I needed for free shipping.

For other cap orders I go through Mouser or Digitech

Well, in the good old days, speakers, be they audio or musical, used the same pio caps, so anybody [still] making/using them for guitar amps now that 'vintage' Jensen, etc., drivers have come back in vogue?

I'm wondering how you build crossovers with such limited values?

[Elitopus1]

I got all my Genteq caps for my 604 crossovers from ebay. (4x) 6uf, (2x) 12uf, and (2x) 25uf. The small caps were 4 bucks each and the bigger caps were 8 bucks each
