Re: polk 6x9

No. You have a DC mental image of how a capacitor operates.

There are 2 passive reactive devices for AC: capacitors and inductors.
Reactance is the name given to the resistance, measured in Ohms, of an
AC signal.

Place a resistance in a circuit and it must attenuate the signal by
converting some of the power to heat. Impedence is resistance with a
PhD.

I thought you would rather know the facts.

I was just pointing out that capacitors, by their nature, can discharge

SO SLIGHTLY (and attenuated as well), again, I WOULD NOT except it to be
audible.
