My 19s are old and still sound good but I suspect there are upgraded caps I can change after all these years. Are there any discussions for recapping these XOs? Any advice on what brand and what values I will need to make them new again will be appreciated.

This old thread could be helpful, including a link to the upgraded crossover by Zilch (RIP):

I'd recommend building new crossovers and leaving the old ones intact (if that aligns with your skill set), rather than trying to upgrade the existing ones.
