You can get high quality 2.2 uF film type capacitors for very cheap.
While you're at it, replace that crappy sand-cast resistor with a non-inductive type wire-wound 5Watt type, which should be about $1 each.
You'll be impressed with the improved clarity of sound.

But that resistor is not in use,they have put jumper in between of resistor legs if I want to replace that then I have to remove that jumper wire or should I just buy new and place it there as it was
The jumper wire in between both legs of new resistor?

The previous owner probably jumped it out to increase tweeter output.
I would listen to it both ways.

As per my knowledge it was not modified so should I try with and without jumper?
Or the manufacturer had done it for some reason

I doubt the manufacturer would have modified it like that (it is possible) - the shadow of older flux around the wire tells me that it was an amateur that did it, not the factory.
But how easy is it to try it both ways?

@baldrick In his previous thread, Kamranbits was advised to compare the tweeter level with jumper in and out of place and then report back.

All talk and no action, that's what I say!

I was thinking it was done by the manufacturer so I was not playing with it but as @baldrick mentioned mostly it was someone else modified I can try removing the jumper and check
How should I know? They're your speakers. I don't even now what speakers they are. I have no idea what they sound like.
I advise you to test it both ways, just like others have advised you to do. Then you make the decision yourself.
Then tell us what you heard. We're curious.

That was also explained to you in your previous thread by Ralph.
"I imagine that the previous owner modified the crossover shorting the resistor. This way the tweeter sounds louder, how much depends on its impedance. Hint: the solder on the resistor appear different."
You then didn't appear to accept that such a modification may have taken place!
It appears we are going round in circles talking about a crossover that currently consists of a single capacitor.
P.S. You don't need a new resistor. The present one is non-inductive enough for speakers of the calibre you are using.
I believe additional inputs and insights could indeed shed more light on the situation. Exploring different perspectives might help unravel the modifications made to the crossover and further diagnose the issue with the speaker setup.
Just now checked in both ways there is not much noticable change, just it effect vocals that too too less
So that resistor only lowers the voice so better we keep it with jumper and just try changing capasitor
By the way that resistor is inactive or is it doing something when it has jumper
Coz I am thinking to remove it as it has no use what do you guys suggest

In this Forum, asking for measurements or test results is like pulling teeth 🙄
They will keep asking, even opening new threads, but answering nothing. 😡
I don't typically just stick an ohm meter on speaker terminals for no reason. What were you checking for when you did this measurement?
Are the speakers working? Do they make sound?
Seems like you're measuring the resistance of a partially charged capacitor.
