You can bypass the crossover in the speakers or you can leave it the way it is. The danger of disconnecting the internal crossover and running just copper wire between the low end and mid/high frequency drivers is the risk of damage to the midrange driver (the 7" in your case), should a power amp or the active crossover fail. You cannot bypass the upper midrange and tweeter drivers because that would mean you will need to tri or quad amp. I'm tri-amping with 3 stereo amps and a 3-way crossover, I also have 3 subs. The sound improvement with running just copper wire between the drivers and amplifier outputs, for me, is worth the risk of damage to any or all drivers. I recently lucked out during a very rare, (first time in 43 years) when the active crossover in one channel failed sending 500 watts into one woofer and 300 watts into one midrange for about 5 seconds. The tone was relatively high, about 900Hz., but any longer the drivers would have been damaged. Luckly, the tone was below the crossover frequency of the tweeter, so a clipped 200-watts rms signal was not seen by the tweeter! My suggestion is to take small steps. Leave the crossover in the speakers as is and as you get more educated and confident, you can try bypassing the internal passive crossovers one at a time. Enjoy!
