Capacitors on factory dash speakers

I noticed there is a capacitor soldered to the speaker assembly. I'm guessing it's to filter out the low frequency signals. I've already a set of dayton audio 3" woofers along with a inline 800HZ high pass filter ready to drop in and in the process of mounting them. They are 3" only so require different mounts unless I can adapt the factory mounts.

Anybody have an idea what the specs are? I'm looking to dissect the factory speakers to reuse factory connectors and mounting hardware. If the specs are right I can save my high pass filters for the rear speakers and pick out all the useful components before I chuck them out.

edit: hey are 10uF capacitors. Crossover point at 4ohms is roughly 4000Hz according to this chart. a bit high. I recall reading about someone stuffing an 8 or 6ohm 4" speaker with better results than any tweeter.

delete this mods. gracias.
