Say if I only needed 22 uF for the LF, 8 uF for MF, 3.3 uF for HF, and 2.2 uF for UHF. For the 22 I used (2) 10 and (2) 1, for 8, (1) 5 and (1) 3, for 3.3 (1) 3 and (1) .33., for 2.2 (1) 2 and (1) .22. My attempt is to keep the response close to equal, considering the duty of each section. I'll measure each cap and write down the measurement. Then I assemble (Sound Mechanical) the caps and measure the total. If the measurement equals the sum of my writen measurements, I'm ready to solder. After I solder, I measure again. The twisted together wire idea was to point out the need for a sound mechanical joint, as I don't view solder as a "Glue". :D
