What kind of speaker are you tweaking? If I were you I would search at the audioasylum.com speaker and tweaking page and the diyaudio.com site and see if anyone else has changed the caps on the speaker you have.
A lot of folk I respect, like Lynn Olson, think that the the tweeter cap is the most important passive component in the entire system! (Read Olson's article "Evolution of a crossover" at the www.aloha-audio.com site. I also suggest you use the best cap there is and both speakrs need the same tweak. Take a look at the Northcreekmusic.com site.- one of the best passive XO available retail and lots of good info and aplace to buy caps.
I think, generally speaking, changing caps in the signal path to the tweeter, is one of the best tweeks there is.
Also, there is a "magic way" stuff is laid out! All of it interacts. (An oversimplification) Magnetic fields, for example, run at specific angles to the current and placement of some components chokes/coils can be crucial to avoid crosstalk ect.
If you just replace the caps shouldn't be an issue.
Bundus is correct when he says you will not know what you have until you hear it even though the design appears same. That is why I think it's great if you can find someone who has tweaked your speaker already. This stuff goes on all the time. Having looked at a lot of fairly expensive speakers it is sad how cheap the XO components are in most.
Sincerely, I remain
