If it is in the lead to the tweeter, it is a filter to keep the lows out of it.

Second that...it's most likely a high pass crossover/filter.
Yep, almost certainly part of the crossover network used to seperate out the frequencies so that the bass driver handle the lower freqs and the tweeter the higher freqs.

What's really funny is it's probably the ENTIRE crossover; a single cap for a 6 dB/octave highpass filter. It's the cheapest crossover there is, and it doesn't even lowpass the woofer.

It's probably an audiophile-grade cap... less in the signal path is more!
