crossover question


Here is a question. My background for the last 30 years has been mechanical. I have quite a bit of experience in electrical systems. But I have no experience in electronic systems.
There is mention of crossover slopes and such. I know where the Vandersteen 2's crosses over. If I buy a driver with a higher frequency rating. Wouldn't the crossover take care of that?
Say the crossover goes from 40hz to 600hz, and the driver I buy goes from 30hz to 3000hz. Wouldn't the crossover deliver the driver to 40hz to 600hz, and not above 600hz.
Help a moron please.

Okay, I am convinced. I just emailed Vandersteen to get a price for two new drivers. Most of the modifications I am making are cosmetic. I am not trying to change too much. Just need a new 8" because I am concerned that it is not stock and it sucks.
Oh boy am I modifying them. When I am done I will post a pic.
You won't recognise that they are Vandersteens.
I believe that the 8" driver is not OEM. And I don't want to pay Mr Vandersteens prices. I would rather buy a stock Vifa driver and save 50%. But I am also being told that the Vifa in the 2c's is not stock. That it is modified in some way.
Either way. It has to be better than this plastic piece of shit that's in there now.
