Ok, I layed one speaker down, and pulled the crossover. All Caps are Mylar, except one 4 mfd 100 volt Aluminum Electrolytic.
The woofer to midrange horn crossover is at 1000 hz
If this old aluminum electrolytic cap is part of the high pass of the woofer, and it has lost capacitance over the years, wouldn't that make the woofer play higher in frequency ?
Mylar Capacitors are said to outlive you, but that Bob Crites guy says they can get high ESR over the years, and should be replaced. Of course, he sells capacitors.
Any comments or suggestions ?
