This is like saying if i disconnect the Brakes in my car how many of you fellows will still have their family jewels left and are they still in decent working condition.
I try not to put my ‘alls on the line… in case they still work ;)
By the way I heard very good things about you and your shop.
Johnny - I really doubt that any "charged capacitor" internal crossover networks can compare to an active crossover using multi-amps. Vandersteen has some of the best, but JBL started this 60 - 70 years ago. Unless you’ve tried eliminating passive crossover components between the amplifier outputs and the drivers (just plain copper wire) you will not know the improvements. All the best.
I pretty much agree, but most users have big mono blocks and are wedded to the passive XOs.
But at least there are two of use in a small boat.
It would be interesting to hear both approaches with the same drivers/boxes. I have been toying with that idea for some older 2Cs.

I asked this legend race car drover once about braking technique and going fast.
He said, “Brakes do not speed one up, so it is best to stay off of them.”
(It’s sort of true once I watched closely at his technique… he would just brush them to transfer some weight.)
