Using both capacitors shouldn't hurt a thing, in fact, the more capacitance the better to some ridiculous point. Watching the voltage ratings and polarity are both good things to do. Polarity sort of explains it's self, backwards means a bang. Twice the normal voltage, or even three or four times the normal voltage won't hurt anything at all. Costs a little bit more, but that's just cheap insurance. Like 'Mole' said, as close to the radio as possible is nice. Got to be practical about that so that "as possible" has some leeway in it.
And just to make sure, this capacitive 'by-passing' thingy is only for DC, not AC. Different way of doing AC. Not that I didn't think you knew that, but just to make sure...
