Caps on the wires??? not sure what you mean by that.

with Morel I have always taken the silver wire as positive, hook it up one way and if you don't like the tweeter sound then switch it. your not going to hurt the tweeter by hooking it up out of phase. Extend your wires and ahoy it up to the crossover.

Thats a bullet connector( thats what I call it anyway) the kit either comes with a lead of wire that attaches to it to add some length or just cut it off. I always do a straight copper to copper connection well twisted and covered.
