If you have an external active crossover that is only feeding bass, then this superfluous. I would just remove the resister and capacitor and run a new internal wire directly from the quick connect block to the drivers.

Thanks for your nearly instant reply. It seemed (and as I said it was dark) that the crossover is being used for the tweeter and horns, so is it OK to remove the resistor and cap, since it looks like they are being fed a signal by the Cap and Crossover ?

Thanks sooooooooooooooo much..
