Radio Shack sells nothing larger than a 10 mic in a non-polarized configuration.  I have seen many 50 volt caps exploded on tweeters on coaxial speakers.  I have never seen an exploded 100 volt device.

Thanks for the link.

The 100v spec is well worth mentioning as the difference in cost is negligible.

I never go to RS for small parts, either drive to a Frys or Vetco, or order online from Parts Express which I'm really happy about.

These guys know their stuff and will reply to emails and take phone calls.

I know just enough to be dangerous. VERY dangerous.

Thanks for the advice "i am an idiot", you got that right about the "shack". I went there and asked about the 50v cap. The pumplefaced kid (no offense to pumplefaced kids elsewhere) was clueless about my questions and obviously didnt care. Then the "manager" acted like he knew about them before telling me that "you dont put caps on car stereos".... So im gonna order them online.  But before i do, does anyone know what the difference in sound is between the 100uf and the 66uf that i have now?

A 100 Mic cap will allow a little more bass to get to the speakers.  Click On DYohn's link if you need to know just how much more bass will be allowed to pass.
