Thanks brader  Tsnad, yan na ang pinakamura nakuha from different sources kaya mixed-nuts sila. Decided to use combi of electrolytic + poly at woofer & mid due to budget constraint. But I found that elect values offset far from it's rating. If you notice the 100++ are actually 100uf labeled.  Polys have very minimal that we can say within the 5 - 10% tolerance.  :D

Malaking ruling rin yung measuring tool to know the actual value of caps & inductors.  :)

Casing lang yung color gold, di pure gold...  :) ROE electrolytic 100uf & 47uf (made in Germany) ginamit ko sa woofer at mixed w/ poly sa midrange.

Test mode: (using extra drivers laying around)


Woofer, mid & Twt1 are ok but no sound on Twt2. Have to trace back the circuit of any problem.

Napainit na bro... Pero first time power up kinabahan ako di umilaw yung pilot lamp, kaya off agad. Second try umilaw na at sunod nag click na ang relay..... Ilang minuto rin bago tumunog.... Agad napansin  ko pinagbago ng tunog... More spacious at lumakas ang output level. Sa ngayon disconnected ulit for next install...
