back to back output coupling caps

Tech Square

Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

I am wondering if "back to back" ( negatives tied together) caps follow the same rules as series ( positive tied to negative) caps in term of value and voltage..
Would two "back to back" 220uf 16v caps equal the value of 110uf 32v?
I want to replace my back to back output coupling caps with a single non polar and i am trying to figure out the corresponding replacement value..
Thanks for your thoughts..
