So, you have two wipers and two resistive elements, cross wired? AS in a ladder attenuator using pots??That would be pretty good, since its NOT a single wiper, as in some ALTEC speakers, that causes the problem I have addressed.
A sonic improvement for you might be to measure the ohmic values, and employ soldered in wirewound power resistors, eliminating the mechanical interface of the wipers to resistive elements handling speaker-level ( powerful ) signals.
