If not, maybe leave the resistor network and bypass cap alone, to preserve the proper response Wayne designed for. Just remove the 1.6 kHz. xover board from the path, if you have not done so already. Set your level controls for the LF and HF outputs to unity, the speakers comp net will handle the level diff. for you.. If your amps are different, some level tweaking will still need to be done...make YOUR ears happy.tweeter amp + will need to connect to where you soldered R1 and R2 to each other. the xover board HF + out is/was wired there.
tweeter amp - out will connect to the other end of R2, which is also connected to the - terminal of the HF driver. the xover board LF - out is/was wired there.
bass amp + out will wire directly to the + terminal of the woofer.
bass amp - out will wire directly to the - terminal of the woofer.
It would be simplest to remove the HF wires where they exit the xover board, then extend them back to the amp...that way you don't have to mess with R1/R2 solder joint, etc. at all. Same goes for the LF wires, remove the wires at the old xover board, and extend them back to the amp. Easy to fix back into the original config. later if needed. Good luck, Sam
