Motor run caps are intended for use at line frequency only. Now I have gotten away with using new polypropylene in oil motor run caps in crossovers and feel they are adequate. But if you are using vintage ones (motor run caps) I dunno.The vit.Q types should be fine though. Maybe not as clean as modern film caps and on the lush side.
I'd be inclined to go with the first cap as a warm type (to mate with woofer) but that is one big vitQ! Make that CD bypass cap something like russian teflons.
