What diameter and voltage are the caps on a M100?

Post by Eric D »

I have an Outlaw, but am too lazy to disassemble this thing if someone has the answer. I am looking for the voltage and diameter (in mm) of the rail capacitors.

I am guessing 50V, and 35mm, but would like conformation of this.

Sounds about right, but I would look just to check the voltage and the height.
The diameter has always been up to 35MM but its the height I have problems matching.
Seems PG always allowed room for 35mm diameter caps in most all there amps. And a max of 35MM for height in most cases, maybe less in the M seies with the sloping case lid. :)

35mm high in a MS amp means the plexi or steel bottom will be touching it. I have some 35mm caps I took out of my MPS2500, and they will not fit in a MS275, which I find odd, considering both amps should have the same stackup. This may be because the MPS2500 board is naturally sagging due to the 35mm height caps wedged in there all the years in the first place.

On MS2250s, and MS2250TAs, the caps are 35mm high, but they just touch the cover on the amp.

As for M series amps, only 30mm will go. I tried the 35mm high cap in my parted out M50, and it will not clear at all. Maybe if the caps were right up next to the heatsink, but they are not on all 4 models, so 35mm won’t fly in these amps.

the ms275 if you notice has spacers underneath the pc..by each screw
or most of them

yes i replaced my caps with 18mm by 35mm and they fit but since im not using my cover it dont matter...

but actully the cover fits...

my rail caps were 35mm high
i can see where the old caps used to rub the cover.

eric i changed my 275 rail caps with the 35mm caps and i have no problem with height or circumfrance.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You may have subs in your car........but my doors sound better!
