question about capxon

[skittles]

hello,
so im learning a little about caps now and ive just ordered a new car audio amplifier (crescendo 3k). i found a pic where i can see the brand of the caps and the smaller ones are DKE and the really big ones are capxon. now ive read a lot here saying capxon are garbage so i have to ask, what makes them go bad? heat, vibration, power, what? what can i do to help them last?

i would just replace them as soon as i get the amps but im sure that will void the warrany lol.

Heat is the #1 killer of lytics.

Re: question about capxon

thats the best answer for me. i have a pretty good fan cooled amp rack that keeps my amps fairly close to room temp.

and c hegge's habit of putting them in campfires is #2?

still, capxon fails anyway... they are one of the top killers of flatscreen tv's...although samwha is catching up in recent units.
