They will work as a replacement for the stock parts.

Are the caps missing from your kit?

Yes, a 100uF 250V cap is an acceptable substitute.  We can also send replacement 100uF 160V caps.

The 250v will run perfectly fine. I actually replaced my caps with Dayton 100uf 250V Film Caps as an upgrade from the electrolytic caps provided with the kit.

Really unsure if that really is an upgrade.

The electrolytic caps supplied with the crack are pretty decent.
An upgrade would be swapping them out with good quality film caps.

If You are keen on modding a bit, this thread is a good place to start:

Edit: Oh yeah, this is the thread that made me have to get and mod the crack!

Hmm yea I think Strikkflypilot is right. Those look like electrolytics. The one I put in were polypropelene caps. I would stick with the ones with the kit.

Thanks Jamie. Btw, I'm scjarrett87 from head-fi. The caps are incredible. Definitely heard a huge difference in sound quality and it's probably the best upgrade I've done so far.

I'm halfway towards my 7119 mod. Installed the two switches, just waiting for some spst's that are coming in today in the mail so I can add the resistance mod.

Hopefully by tonight I'll be listening to those 7119's that I've heard so much about.
