Interesting. That’s a low part count for a 4 way crossover. But you can see the red and black input wires, then the 4 pairs of outputs.
You, or someone, should trace it out and make a wiring diagram. From a first look you might need a separate PCB for the new half.
But tracing it out will tell you.

That sounds perfect. For now I'm gonna hard wire just to get a rough idea. Can you tell which parts I need to separate for the low frequencies?
It's a very old but still capable speaker. Transmission line design, the sound is very good, I have them connected via a trio ka4004 pre into a Sony ta1144 power. What sound!! Having the amps this way set up sounds alive, the way bass drums and other lows are played truely slam hard. Higher frequencies need help with separating so I thought I'd try to bi amp..see what happens
Thanks, so for the bass it's just the coil? What is the capacitor there for, positive to the coil then to bass and negative out
How about splitting the crossover into 4. This way naw I can use a 4 channel amp, each channel for each driver? Better? How can I do this
I removed your duplicate thread and changed the name of this one (I assume that was your intention).
In any case, this image would be a first step in tracing your circuit.

Ok, it seems the previous circuit checks out.
Splitting off the woofer would be easy. The others are linked by the cascading filters. You'd have to develop a replacement. I could see that happening in a couple of ways. You might try finding the response at the junction of the three upper drivers at the output of the first high pass filter, and use this as pre EQ to the 3 upper amps while keeping the remaining components in place.. or you could find the responses at each driver and replicate that using your own filter for each.
