Wat the! Another cap went kaput again! But then this time i was pretty darn sure i did not wire it wrongly! I guessed that it was a surge problem cause my cap bank is like 30000uF which draws a very very high current momentarily when just turned on. I suspect it could be due to that problem and then somewhat confirmed it after hearing from my dad that Tantalum caps cant really withstand surges in power.
This time the blowing up was even more POWERFUL! I was wiring everything up on my second channel and decided to turn it up after checking the wiring. So i turned the power on and POP! Saw a damn big spark and then saw the cap actually shoot out of the circuit board?! So scary la! Very lucky again cause i wasn't sitting in the "firing range". I think im going to change all the tantalum caps on my circuit to either ceramic caps or just use the electrolytic cap la.
