Xover Rebuild

Hi All; I have dry installed new caps and resistors on my xover board. What a tight fit! Do both the silver mica caps get removed and jumpers installed? Also there are no polarity issues with the new caps? They are not marked any way I can see as to polarity. Thanks for any help!:eek:

Nice work! The film caps are non-polar so no worries there. The prevailing wisdom is that the silver micas are unnecessary with better caps so can (should) be removed. Based on the schematic, I don't think you're supposed to replace them with jumpers, you probably should wait for someone else to answer on that.

just de-solder and toss the silver micas--nothing goes back in their place--good job.JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

Hi On; Sorry for the jumper comment. That would defeat having the cap installed in the first place. WOOOOOOOOPS!

Yes.and jumpers installed
No.Also there are no polarity issues with the new caps? They are not marked any way I can see as to polarity.
