Can I change the crossovers or the crossover frequencies of my speakers? I mean speakers like Klipsch, Infinity, etc. |

You can upgrade the parts in the crossover. I wouldn't recommend heavy modification though. |

Depends on the speaker. It may be worth doing to an already expensive speaker, since it won't be cheap. For example, it's said that the Klipsch RF-7 can be dramatically improved with a crossover upgrade that uses a different design and better quality parts.
Expect to pay several hundred dollars. |

neil - Why would you think this is a good idea? Are you unhappy with the X-over frequency as it exists? What would you change it to and how would you determine whether you got it right? What's the purpose of wanting to change the X-overs?

Clarification on my post... The aftermarket crossovers I mentionned for Klipsch do not change the crossover frequencies much, if at all. They may the output of each driver and alter the crossover slopes. |

For cross-over research, building, and design, I recomend Great Sound Stereo Manual by David B. Weems. The hardcopy 1990 eddition.
