Bucking magnet and woofer Q

I got some Sony 3 way speakers, cheap. They have a smaller mag on the rear of the woofer. I was wondering about the effect of removing this mag,don' have any crt's. These are 8" and must be high Q w/low resonance as they really pump out bass, not booming but way too much. The mid(?) Is 8 ohms with a 2.7 cap, the other tweet is 6 ohm w/1uf (30k -3db?) I was going to try an 18db xover at 2500 and a 2.2 on the little dome, piggy back off the mid which is really a 3.5" cone tweet. I figure these are like a car tweet w/2.2 cap, like 99db and cross over high to pad it down, saves $.02 on a resistor. This can be bearable in a car, not so much at home. Lost cause I know but they look good. Also, they are sealed w/almost no stuffing, no port. Drivers do have gaskets, woofer plastic frame, built like pro woofer, not stamped steel.
