Any bi-polar 4uFd 100V or more capacitor will substitute.

 
The yellow one is a low quality film cap used for the tweeter. It's slightly better than an electrolytic in that circuit.

The blue one is a low quality electrolytic cap used as the shunt cap. The white block is a low quality resistor.

How did you determine one of the caps is bad?

Thank You.
<How did you determine one of the caps is bad? - unsoldered and measured the value.
 
Very good. Electrolytic caps have a finite lifespan, but the bi-polar type usually just drift out of spec.
