00:00If you've ever rebuilt a crossover and wondered why the highs still sound flat, the capacitor is usually the culprit.
00:06I've been digging through the cheap MKP film caps everyone recommends in DIY speaker forums, and I found 5 that
00:12actually punch way above their price.
00:15These are the ones people keep buying over and over, thousands of orders each, and I'll tell you exactly which
00:20one fits your build.
00:22Starting with the Audiophiler Axial MKP at 400V.
00:26This is the one I'd grab for a tube amp coupling job or any crossover where you want headroom to
00:31spare.
00:32That 400V rating means you're never sweating voltage margin on a high power build, and the value spread is huge,
00:38from a tiny 0.1 microferus all the way up to 47 microferus.
00:43Two pieces for $2.29, which is nothing.
00:48Almost 5,000 sold at a 4.9 rating tells you people aren't getting duds.
00:53If you're matching a stereo pair, this is the easy default.
00:57Next, the 250V Audiophiler Axial, and this one's sitting at a perfect 5-star rating across 4,800 orders.
01:05That's rare.
01:06The trick here is the pack flexibility, you pick between 2 and 5 pieces, so if you're doing a 3
01:12-way crossover and need odd counts, you're not buying 2 separate listings.
01:16$3.03
01:18For most home speaker crossovers, 250V is plenty of margin, and the Axial leads make it dead simple to solder
01:24inline without fighting the board layout.
01:27Solid, boring, works.
01:30Third up is the 250V MKP from the Audiophiler HiFi line, and this is the value granularity pick.
01:37Look at the range, 1 microferus, 1.5, 1.8, 2.2, 2.7, 3.3, all the way to
01:4447 microferus.
01:46Those in-between values matter a lot when you're tuning a crossover point by ear and you need 1.8
01:52instead of jumping from 1.5 to 2.2.
01:55It's $3.62, a bit more than the others, and it's rated 4.9 across over 4,000 sales.
02:02If you're actually tweaking rather than replacing like for like, this is your listing.
02:07Fourth, and this is the one I'd actually order for a real project, 10 pieces of genuine Axial MKP for
02:13$3.36.
02:1610
02:17That's about $0.33 a capacitor
02:20Perfect 5-star rating, $4,100 sold
02:23When you're building crossovers you always want spares, you always burn one with the iron, and you always want to
02:30try two values before committing.
02:32Buying intends changes how you work, you stop being precious about it.
02:37Best cost per part on this list by a mile
02:40And number 5, the cheapest entry, $2.19 for two 400 V-caps
02:46This one's aimed squarely at the low-value end, 0.1 microfaras, 0.22, 0.47, 1 microfaras, 2.2,
02:554.7
02:56Those are your tweeter-side values, the ones that shape the top end.
03:014.9 rating, nearly 3,800 sold
03:04If your project just needs a pair of small-value film caps and you don't want to pay boutique prices
03:09for something that measures the same, grab these and put the savings into better inductors.
03:14All five links are down in the description, prices update automatically so you'll see the current deal.

03:27$10,000 or $10,000 or $10,000 or $10,000 or $10,000 or $____,000
