Any recommendations for bypass cap values for 1.5uF, 13.5uF & 16.5uF (all non-electrolytics in JBL N1200S and 3106)? I've used .01uF with 1.5uF.

I tried many bypass caps over the years, expensive and cheap ones .
Cheap and with very good results, use the (very small) Vishay MKP1837 bypass cap on every cap in your crossover (0.01 uF on every cap)
Price about $ 0.50 a piece or less.

Thanks for the suggestion...the Vishays are polypropylene and thus have a good DF?
