Question,

Is there a benifit to having a single string rated at .027uf containing 25 
caps in series, compared with 2 strings rated .0135 with 25 caps each, in 
parrallel??  Id guess that there would be a little benifit, but does anyone 
think that its worth it??  I was also wondering why they carried such small 
values since these would cross over at very extreme frequencies, rather than 
the usual 800hz and 3000hz (generally for a 3 way system).  And another 
thing to note is that Allied sells the same caps that im interested in for 
about 8 bucks each!! compared to 1.52 each at Madisound.  Boy, i must have 
really been ripped when i bought my original MMC cap!
