I am planning on rebuilding a speaker x-over. Money is tight so the Vishays are appealing. I need qty 3 -12, qty 1- 13.5 and qty 1-27 microfarad per speaker. My concern is the working voltage on the Vishays (100VDC or 63 VAC max). This is an array where I use a CJ MF 2500A for LF and a CJ MF2100 for HF (250,100 WPC respectively, doubling @4 ohms) I know I'll need to get creative with math and values and parallel several to match the value I need. I have the room to do that. I had planned on Sonicaps. Then I found out Mouser doesn't stock 10 or 15 mfd and those are 10 or 20 percent tolerance as well. Your thoughts welcome.

The 10uF, 63V, 20%, MKT1822 is not stocked at Mouser.

Here are the values they stock. They should be all that you need to get all the values in your crossover. For a speaker crossover 10% tolerance is more than acceptable.

2.2uF, 100V, 10%
1.0uF, 100V, 10%
4.7uF, 100V, 10%

Just type in "mkt1822" in Mouser's search bar and they should all show up.

In general, for speaker crossovers, 63V is fine, 100V is more than enough and anything above that is a waste of space (because those caps are large) and money.

I hope you get a chance to listen to them, they're absolutely wonderful!
