Increasing Filter Capacitance
I'd like to increase the filter capacitance of a 21 year old subwoofer amp from the
current two 10,000uf 75v caps to a pair of 20,000uf 75v caps. The current rectifier is a Fagor FB2502. Do you think this rectifier can handle the increase or should I upgrade it? Also, for reference, the amp uses a single power chip per side as opposed to discrete xistors if that matters. Thanks. |

The extra capacitance could cause an increased current surge when the unit is turned on but the power transformer will probably still limit the peak current to a safe value. If you are trying to boost the output power, you could overheat the power transformer at high sound levels with the extra capacitance. |
