and that re-wiring them as mentioned in the Google search will alter what your crossover was specifically designed to do.

Actually it will keep the XO doing what it was does at all L-Pad settings. Having it as a variable resistor will change the XO slope and leave a whole or an overlap at the XO point as you increase or decrease the resistance.

you'd instead be "altering" the design of your crossover. I personally wouldn't recommend doing so......

I don't undertand how it can be called a 'design' if it's wired that way.
