A cheap 3 way crossover will probably sound worse than the simple one you have now. Crossovers are complex and they must be designed for the combination of parts making up each speaker to sound good. The box volume and design and the drivers are a unique combination and so is the crossover. A good crossover doesn't only act as a crossover but also equalizes the individual drivers which are rarely flat in response.
Try an improved capacitor.
I am surprised there's no cap on the tweeter(unless it's a series crossover. Without a cap in a regular crossover the tweeter gets full power from bass on up and no tweeter can handle that. Are U sure there is nothing on the tweeter?
