Not really

The spec impedance is a nominal value over the system's frequency bandwidth & the crossover frequency is an acoustic point for the complete system. You cannot reverse-engineer without also knowing the impedance with frequency & acoustic response of all drivers as measured in the enclosure. Your calculation via Textbook learning-tool reactance formulae merely deduces -3dB electrical reactance @ fixed resistance, not with impedance that varys with frequency & certainly does not involve acoustic response. More than slightly different, you will be off by several octaves.
