I need to know the capacitor value (uF and voltage) for the tweeter in a CS400. If anyone knows it or has a schematic for this center channel can you post a link for it, or just let me know what value it is? Thanks for everyones' help.

My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    OK, another question. Do you think it would be OK to put a 10uF capacitor in for the 12uF capacitor? The 10uF has a +/- 5% tolerance to it. It is a Sonicap. So do you think it would be too much outside the tolerance to work correctly? Any help appreciated.

    not to derail the post, but does anyone (face?) have a schematic for the cs400/400i midbass drivers?
    Thanks,

    That would shift the tweeters crossover point up slightly,the likely result being a small dip in response at the crossover.

    Don't forget, that if you switch that cap out you'll need to give it plenty of time for it to burn in before you can really enjoy it again.

    It's not too difficult to pull the x-over and make heads and tails of what's inside. Polk uses mostly simple slopes, so there should only be 1-3 parts per driver.
