[GMCnet] Need an Electronics education

I've just ordered some replacement speakers for the front cap. They came with picture instructions (totally worthless) and two capacitors (my guess). The printing on the capacitor says that they are bipolar and rated at 50V 100uF.
I have no idea what they are for, but I'm guessing that they will block the lower frequencies, since these little 3.5 inch speakers won't be used as sub-woofers!
Anyone care to hold class and let me know what to do with these, or should I toss them?

They are there as crossovers, as you thought. To block the bass. Polarity does not matter.
Capacitors block DC, which bass is very low freq, and close to a DC signal as far as the voice coil is concerned.

If so you would wire them in series with the speaker to roll off the low freqs. Probably just provided to prevent overexcurding the small drivers with freqs below their usable range.
