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.
