I'm trying to design / spec my own Modded 12xxx series Marshall style amp but I'm a little confused about the Filter caps.
So I really want to try 100u + 100u in series at the mains supply for 50u Total, and 32 + 32u in series at the screens for 16u total (and a 50u PI cap)... This is for a saggy 100w Non Master volume build.
Is it not possible to wire Dual can caps in series with themselves ?? I was under the impression that the whole point of Dual electrolytic caps (100/100, 50/50, 32/32) was that we had the choice to wire in parallel or series to save space and number of caps.
A friend of mine the other day told me that you can't wire a Dual cap in series simply because the ground terminal is shared between both halfs of the cap ... I was like WTF, this whole time I've thought it was that simple.
Is he correct? If so, How do all of you guys get your low filtering without physically drilling extra mounting holes and trying to make space for 4 Huge Single caps?!?!! Couldn't it just be as easy as wiring a dual 100/100 and a dual 32/32 ? haha
Sorry if this is a really dumb question .
