B&W DM16 Improvement - Crossover rebuilt

[zotgene]

Hi to all
I've been reading the forum for several years even though I've hardly ever written.
I have some B&W DM16 that I decided to restore by improving them as much as possible.
In this thread, I would like some help on the crossover. Please bear in mind that I'm not an expert. I want to create new crossovers starting from 0, leaving the originals intact to be reinserted without problems.
My project also includes internal rewiring, spreading soundproofing on the internal walls, and possibly also changing the sound-absorbing material (from the factory is wool threads). As for the crossover, I designed from scratch an implementation without the protection circuit.
Could you give me some suggestions? Could it work as I designed it?
In your opinion, is the 1000 µF capacitor on the woofer line necessary?

Thanks to anyone willing to have the patience to help me

The 1000uF capacitor is to increase the bass. It alters the alignment to third order (presuming these are sealed but not sure).

The dividers at the end with the large valued resistors can be omitted.

Yes, it's a sealed enclosure.

I would consider introducing 100% wool which is an excellent damping material.

@AllenB thanks a lot. I confirm that we are talking about sealed boxes.
So can I remove the component inside the red "circle"?
@Galu Ok, I will try. I think that the original damper material is not so good cause the threads can interfere whit the movement of the drivers
