M25 Blue capacitors

Anyone got the specs on the bigger blue caps in the M25?

There is corrosion under them so with a bit of luck they are my problem.

I'll get some pics tomorrow when I strip them. It's sounding like I might need to take them to a pro.

The shiney pads under the board that the solder was stuck to, the top of the board is pristine.

PG M25 / M100 / soldering problem

I have issues with my amps and I think it's because of the poor job my 'electrician' mate did of the soldering. A couple of the pads fell off so I'm assuming that's where the problem begins. How do I go about making these joints good. Also is clear silicone bathroom sealant good enough to put betwee...

M25 woes...... :o(

Hi all, a while ago I posted up saying I'd bought an M25 and M100. I replaced the caps as per the guide and both amps were running fine up until this week. The M25 has started to make an awful fizzing/crackling noise, any clues what I can do to fix it? I didn't bother with the silicone between the c...

I've ordered 10 of the 5600uf ones so will have a couple of spairs. Can't find the big ones, will have to contact PG I think. Are the others as important?

I see.....

I'm not really understanding what I actually need, if anyone fancies doing me a huge favor and telling me what to order from the link below I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks - what's the difference between those 5600 uf ones compared to the standard 2200 uf they come with?

Do the big blue ones need doing also?

Lucky I found this forum, my black ones are leaking a bit, they haven't discoloured the upper board yet though.

Thanks for potentially saving my amps!

I did but people seemed to be using different to the origionals, and to be honest I know next to nothing about caps. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very greatful.

Just bought M100 + M25 S2

I've just bought the above amps to power my front mids and tweeters.

I realise I'll probably need to replace the capacitors, what ones do I need to buy and how many will I need? Anything else I need to look for when I open them up?
