Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover


Hoping I can get some help! I am going to be replacing the poly caps in my Usher Dancer Mini-X DMD crossover with V-Cap ODAM's. V-Cap ODAM installation notes say:

-----
The short lead indicates the outermost foil, and should be connected to the lowest impedance path to ground. Another way to identify outer foil is the writing on the label flows towards the outer foil.
-----

Without a schematic, can anyone tell in this photo which way the ODAM caps should be oriented? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Nice!

I have found that quality resistors, caps and inductors are well worth it. 

Next think for you to consider is replacing the inductors with foil inductors. I think this is less important than resistors and caps, particularly since you already have fairly heavy gauge air core inductors, but it's worth considering. 

Thanks! I was considering the inductors as well but you are right the stock inductors are surprisingly robust and Bill thought it might not be needed. I do think foil inductors would be really interesting. I think Usher must use these boards on several of their models as you can see they have allotted space for larger inductors so I do have the room. These boards btw are really nice as well, they are double thick and practically the entire board was a copper plinth with divisions between each section.
