Tweaking speaker crossover. Pls help.

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I am doing some research into capacitors to tweak the crossover in my nOrh speaker that uses Vifa M18WO-09-09 and XT25TG30-04.
I am currently looking at Multicap and AudioCap.
Before I can go further, I am rather confuse with the â€œlabellingâ€ on these capacitors that I am looking at.
What are the differences between Metalized Polypropylene Capacitor PPMF and Polypropylene & Tin Film & Foil PPT Theta from AudioCap? The same between PPFX and PPMFX from Multicap.
Will each model produce different sound or the diff between them is merely in capacitance value.
While I am at it, do you think that these branded caps will be overkill for the Vifa drivers? The one I need is 10uF and 30uF, 100V for tweeter. Due to the high cost, I may leave the cap for the woofer alone as it need a 33uF one which is expensive. I was also told that capacitor is not so important for woofer as inductor are.
