Truth be told, when I put larger cap to the tweeters (and I did check the wiring - they were NOT counter-phased and I could hear them), I did not notice much difference in sound. The main speaker in these radios is surprisingly good and I am not sure it really requires tweeters. 37-116 does well without them.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
