Bozak 302A Tobin Mods

Hello, I picked up a pair of Bozak 302A's in Moorish cabinets recently, and I need some help working on them.

I'm planning on doing the tobin mods to my Bozak crossovers, but I've got a couple questions, as this is my first time looking at a crossover.

Ideally I'd like to recap them the same way as the original, with multiple capacitors rather than a larger 25uf one, but I'm not sure if Dayton capacitors would fit in the original cap box.

Could someone describe the "jumper" to me? It's not obvious when I'm looking at it, but I would like to lower the crossover point to 400 instead of 800.

I've picked up some B200YC tweeters, but I've read that some people thought the tobin mod brings them down a little too much with the 7.5ohm resistor, how would I go about bringing it down about -6db instead? Can I use a different resistor around 4ohms? I'd prefer that over using an L-Pad.

My soldering skills are decent, and I'm pretty good about taking apart/fixing things and getting them back together again, but modifying something I don't fully understand is proving to be a challenge.

Also, does anyone know what kind of material the grill curtains are made of?

I'd appreciate any help, thanks!
