Is this for the Klipsch?

Sorry if my explanation below wsn't clear. I asumed you knew the rules for how resistors combined.

Now it all is a function of how many dB the crossover is but for a second order (12dB) there would be a series cap to a tweter and a shunt inductor across it. For the woofer the inductor would be in series and the cap in shunt (shunt means across the driver terminals). In general put your money into the series parts and save on the shunt parts.

Also be advised that a film cap is going to tend to sound brighter so that might not be a good thing on a klipsch tweeter or mid range as they can sould a tad aggressive already. Real point being, to make one change at a time and keep the old parts. Listen for a week or two and then put the old part back in to be certain you like the change. Don't be afriad to scroung old motor run caps, from discarded air conditioning units and the like, as a cheap source for large film caps. Plus they have somewhat more delicate sound sometimes.
