Some hints for your capacitance measurements, unless your test equipment is at 'K' pricing, otherwise the cheap regular multimeter won't give you the accurate reading.

So my advice is no need to care about the reading, just use it.

The so called audio cap damn expensive due to its voltage rating, lol, 630VDC, i would say even 50Vdc is more than enough... doh.gif

I can't imagine which Amp can generate voltage even higher than the power supplied to the amp itself...

I hope someone give a reason for using those damn high voltage cap, no choice or what?

I havent learned up the network yet. the 7uF cap is normally not there. I increase the cap value and found the vocal flatter. I was thinking lowering that 7uF will bring in more higher treble ? the 6uF works on high pass. is the 7uF works on high pass as well ?

even 50uf can works on high pass. The value of high pass cap determine how much mid range down to bass send to the tweeter, not to make more higher treble.
