So guys Im going to place an order tonight for caps to recap my xovers and am thinking I should go ahead and get some to bypass the ps caps in the 565s.After spending a few hours on diy forum I know I should get 12uf and 1uf caps but which ones??? I assume you solder the 1uf caps on with the 12uf ones....correct?

    I would get Daytons. That is what I've used in multiple electronics and they work great for a low price.

    I doubt you would notice a difference between the two, especially in that application.

    Having low impedance at hi frequencies is the important part, so virtually any film cap will qualify.

    The pair in the fm were returned to soniccraft.Ill have to shoot him an email to see if he has them still and ask if I can get a deal on them since there used and they were originally purchased at 20% off.
    Im really happy with parts express.Top notch customer service not mention my order will be here in less than 48 hours after I placed the order and the ups ground shipping was free...
    I ordered some premium binding posts from them a few months ago and one of the posts had a broken disconnect and they had it replaced in 2 days with not one but 2 posts.Great place to order parts from.
