Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: That confuses me - Also any recommendations

Capacitors work the opposite of resistors. With resistors, when wired in series, the values add. When wired in parallel, the value reduces. With caps, when wired in series, the value reduces, and when wired in parallel, the values add. The formula for series caps (and parallel resistors) is:

V total= 1/(1/v1 + 1/v2 + 1/v3 etc.)

where v=value.

In series, capacitor voltage increases. For instance, two 68uF 50V caps in series becomes 34uF @ 100V.
Caps in parallel, add the values together, but voltage stays the same.
