At the risk of incurring a personal attack, I wish to report that I have tested common commercially-available capacitors, looking for the resonant frequency (frequency at which the device's impedance bottoms out; the cap stops behaving like a capacitor above this frequency and starts behaving like an inductor). The lowest resonant frequency I found was 5.3kHz, well within the audio range.


What was the capacitor value for that measurement?


It was a 3,300µF/50V Panasonic Series NHG electrolytic.

So resonant freq f=1/(2*Pi*(L*C)**0.5)

So L=273nH.

So you had 273nH of parasitic/lead inductance? BULL****.

Also, where in the **** would you need such a large cap
in a speaker crossover?

IF DON'T WANT PERSONAL ATTACKS, DON'T MAKE STUPID **** UP!!!
