I've been doing some research on the values of the caps used. There are two, a 4 mfd and a 10mfd.
The 4 mfd was used on the cabinets that also contailed 16 ohm speakers such as the siren 3x15 cabinets and crossed at about 2500 Hz. The newer 215+H cabs that were designed for guitars used the 10mfd with the 8 ohm speakers and crossed at about 2K Hz.
As far as I can tell the larger 215+H cabs that were used for PA has 16 ohm speakers and used the 4 MFD caps.
