Have you swapped crossovers from side to side yet?
If you have a severe imbalance between sides this may do it....probably <10% chance of this.
Also, a bad solder would cause high resistance. This also ends up as heat. You may notice a frequency imbalance between sides. The JOINT would get hot, not necessarily the resistor.
Just for the sake of numbers:: If the resistor is 1 ohm and the panel is 4 ohms, then the resistor is 20% of the load. At 100 watts AVERAGE power, the resistor would be called upon to deal with about 20 watts. This'd be wacky loud, even for low sensitivity panels. This resistor...is it for the entire panel or just highs or lows?
The most I've seen go by on my panels, is about 10 volts.....this is 20% greater than my poor DVM reads, but I figure the signal is going pretty quick. That voltage at 4.5 ohms is about 22 watts at 2.2 amps. That is PEAK. Average? Not a clue. That my amp will probably kick out maybe 50 volts would make it too loud to be in the same room.... This for 1.6 panels.
Too much is never enough
