Default Capacitor question

In my passive x-over, my capacitors have a 5.6 uf and 12 uf values. What do they mean exactly.

The Farad is a measure of storage of charge. micro farads are a very small amount of capacity. They block certain audio signals from your speakers, depending on impedance and frequency. If you can't make heads or tails of this chart, you have a lot of reading to do before you can start asking good questions.
