Resistors in Crossover

$

I am looking at playing around with a 3 way speaker's crossover to tailor the sound a bit.

Currently I find the Midrange and tweeter need to be turned down to let the bass driver become part of the whole picture, otherwise it is lacking in bass.

I did put a 4.7 Ohm resistor across the terminals for the Mid/Tweeter and this seems very good.

 

Looking at the crossover itself, I noticed the bass driver has 2 resistors in series at the end of the crossover which goes to the bass driver.

Could I change this as in remove 1 resistor to allow the bass driver to have better volume with the other drivers?

 

I did some reading and the only thing I see is the resistors are there to match the volume between the drivers. Also can effect the Ohms to what the amp sees.

 

I did try an external  LPad I made in a little box connected to the mid/tweeter and this seems to work well but thought I could do something internal to do something similar.

 

Currently the original crossover has a 5 Ohm resistor on the tweeter circuit and a 2.9 Ohm resistor on the midrange part.
