Guest eet16 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm having some difficulty finding a 22uf film cap for a crossover in the size I want (less than 25mm dia.). I find some tantalum caps in this size, but I know some people don't like them. Any advice? Are tantalums okay to use in a crossover. I'm looking for + - 5 toleranceThansk,eet16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
