Help changing a capacitor!

[92-silverado7.4]

I need to change a capacitor in a fosgate amp. The problem is that it has a bunch of numbers like 22000uf, 35v, and 105 degrees celcius. I bought one with 2200uf, 35v, but the degrees celsius are higher, does that make a difference?

I hope that one of uf is a typo ..... if the voltage is the same, the 22000 will be a LOT larger than a 2200. The 22000uf is the capacitance, the 35V is the maximum voltage rating, the 105 C is the max temp range ... as long as it is at least as high as the one it came with, you will be fine.

Sorry I messed up, what I was trying to say is that both of the caps are 2200uf and 35v, but the one that blew up had 105 degrees celsius, and the one I bought has a higher number of degrees celsius....do the degrees celsius really make a difference?

it just means the higher one can handle more heat. you are fine if it is the same uf with equal or higher voltage and temp ratings.

yeah...that's what I tought, but I wasn't sure, thanx for the help guys!!!!!
