External Crossover?

So I was thinking about these Focal speakers... Started wondering, would it be possible to remove built-in crossover inside speaker, and replaced w/ external battery-powered crossover on my speakers...

...crossover rolling, is there such a thing?

Of course use high grade components for crossover, and replace internal wire also...

I have asian market Usher Be-718, doesnt i know the US version has upgraded crossover parts, and i think JPS internal wiring.

I was thinking about upgrading mine. Wanted to see how I could go about it.

JPS Labs Alumiloy internal wiring
Retuned crossovers featuring all new/upgraded parts as follows:
Erse high-purity oxygen free copper air-core inductors
Mills resistors
Sonicaps
Erse poly caps

Removing the crossover may well be a very good thing on its own. You can then isolate it from the vibations of the speaker cabinet. It worked well for me.

Unless you have a stack of Alpha Core inductors and tremendous caps, you're only altering the cabinet volume by a small percentage.

I mounted mine externally on my Tannoys for tweaking and to isolate them from vibration.
