Sony speaker project

Hi All
Been following the threads on speaker modifications and thought it would be fun to have a go. I found a pair of small Sony speakers (SSH5500) in among my junk. Not sure where I got them. I think I had them linked to a small Panasonic amp. They seem solid enough so I took them apart with
a view to lining with steel plate and changing the crossover. There are three drivers with the mid and tweeter combined in a small plate.
The crossover seems simple with only 2 inductors and one capacitor, no resistor. Would it be ok to just cut the leads to the bass driver and connect the driver directly to my A60 then just leave the existing crossover to the mid and tweeter pair and using my A30 to drive them? There is a port but I will seal this up. Should the box be air tight with some sort of sealant round the drive units, silicone possibly?
The speakers are probably not hi fi but I would like to have a go before trying a more expensive pair of speakers.
Cheers
