Acoustic Research AR-4X capacitor replacement

[isaaczzz]

Picked up a pair of AR-4Xs and am trying to replace the old capacitors with new 20 µF Dayton Audio caps. I'm referencing this photo (from this guide) for wiring but the insides of my speakers don't quite look the same (pic attached). I assume the big beige block is the capacitor. Can I just clip the blue and green wires leading to the beige block and wire in the new Dayton Audio cap? Which one is positive and which is negative? I don't have a multimeter with a capacitance measurement setting.

Yes. Just clip and strip the blue and green wires right where they exit the block capacitor. Then attach your Dayton.

Also the Dayton polypropylene capacitors do not have a polarity. So hook it up any way you want!
