Film Bypass on Electrolytic vs. Polypropylene Cap

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Specifically on a woofer, what are the advantages/disadvantages of recapping an aging electrolytic with an electrolytic with low esr and film capacitor in parallel versus straight replacement with a poly cap of the same total capacitance. The speaker I am considering does not have a cap of any kind on the tweeter, in fact the only device in the crossover is this single cap.
