I have a pair of onix x-ls that I will be manually upgrading the crossovers.  The tweeter capacitor is a 9.1uf250v.  The place that I was ordering the caps did not have that value, so I bought a 5.1uf250v 1% + 4.0uf250v 1%to get the combined value.  Will this have any detrimental effects compared to just using a single 9.1uf cap?  Thanks!

Yes is will have a detrimental effect. You have a group of caps with different discharge rate together. So they store and release the signal at different times causing a phase shift and a time smear in the audible range.
 
By the way, we stock all of the caps needed to upgrade those speakers.
