if I were to do it over again with MG1.6's I wouldn't rip or tear the sock, or 'gut' the crossover well like I did last time.
I'd first unstaple the bottom, then undo the terminal plate. I'd then simply remove the spades connected to the pushtabs leading to the drivers. All you'd have to do at this point is thread the new crossover leads into the exsiting push tabs (there's even actually a hole in each tab to thread).
If you then decide to sell the panels in their original form you'd simply reverse this process without compromise.

may the bridges I burn light the way...

Precisely they way I think it should be done by those who just need to upgrade the xover or bi-amp.

In my case, I knew that further mods would be done that required non-ambulatory surgery on my MMGs. However, no selling of them was ever contemplated. They were considered "disposable"...though now they are not.

  Yep. Mods should always be reversible if you want to sell something in the future. *You* know your mod made it better and that they were carefully done, but the potential purchaser doesn't.
  
  The flip side of that is that if you're buying something, you can get a good deal on something that's modified. Even if you don't like the mods you can probably undo them for less than you'll save on the purchase price.

  My panels are 'forever' too.....though GLs idea is terrific. And a great excuse to make hi-zoot external crossover boxes.......with plenty of room for the larger aircore inductor needed.

    photograph the wire color scheme before you undo the spades (use a needle nose to 'gingerly' remove each spade)on each speaker.
    
    Also; I've long since forgotten the wiring schematic of a new XO setup (the one I have in tweaks isn't as good as P.Gunn's).

      My camera with a macro will allow me to read the printing on the wires. I have plenty of lighting, tripods, reflectors and cords for a small studio....Hey I DO have a small studio! Right down to a flash meter. My camera will also allow me to attach a short audio file to EACH exposure so I can label them for left / right speaker and thoroughly document what and how I do 'it'.
      
      Maybe I'll publish?
