I'll get ZERO traction with this, but you may want to look into improving the inductor(s) in the bass circuit. This has the greatest need for power handling and may benefit from air cores. Stock inductors are probably iron/laminated/ferite cored. Matching DCR will gain power handling / headroom and not change the crossover point.
The other thing I see on 'stock' crossovers is incorrect placement of inductors.
Many are on the same plane and edge to edge where they interact....badly.
ALL coils should be at right angles to one another with as much spacing as reasonably possible. An external crossover maximizes these possibilities while keeping the capacitors safe the pressure changes inside an enclosure which breed microphonic effects.
