If I were to run them in series, that would work correct? I think it would leave me at 11uf, which should be close enough.

So 11 should be no problem. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...=sGAEpiMZZMsCnlYck6hSqMUl0gG61HCnyRZHyCu29O0= Last edited: Nov 10, 2009

It's different with bipolar caps. When you run two polarized caps in series it halves the capacitance.
