[Shotimes] capacitor compatibility

I have just acquired a 2 Farahd, 450 volt capacitor, and i'm wondering if
there's any way in hell it's gonna work with a stereo system. I don't know
that much about capacitors any more (it's been too long!), and nobody here
knows whether a 450 volt AC capacitor will work with a 12 volt DC system. As
far as I know, a capacitor is a capacitor, and the 450V rating is the
maximum voltage it can hold, and there shouldn't be any problems. I wanna
make sure first, though...

P.S. if it works, I have another one that I can see about getting to
somebody for like $50 or so plus shipping...
