    Sony SRS-A205 and non-polarized electrolytic capacitors on audio input

    Hello. I have this set of speakers that I'm recapping because they had some noise. After replacing most of the electrolytic capacitors the problem dissapeared, but I've continued working for a full recap since they are rated 85ÂșC even the ones placed next to a heatsink.

    After removing them I've noticed that in the audio input there are 3 non-polarized electrolytic capacitors in series for ground, left and right, just after the audio jack. I don't stock this type of capacitors, could I replace them with polarized caps?

    In a pinch, you could use series pairs of normal electrolytics of double the value of the original bipolar ones.

    (+) --||-- (-) --||-- (+) In case this attempted diagram makes any sense?
