Everything I have read on the net and elsewhere suggests that the
improvements you are contemplating cannot hurt and may help.  Why
don't you let us all know how it works out. BTW, what speakers are
involved?
There are other things you could try, some of which could have adverse effects.
If you have a bass reflex design spkr you could check and adjust, if
necessary, the port tuning. If you have an "acoustic suspension" design
(Edgar Villchur be praised!) You could try adding some more "acoustic
absorber" material. I don't think either of these could get you into
trouble.
I especially like your proposal to eliminate the pots. They are a more
or less reliable source of trouble, trouble, trouble. Whenever I visit
someone who owns AR speakers, I go over and "tweak" the pots to get the
tweeters going again.  THey are always open and the owners never seem
to notice it. ...Sigh. I have to use a step ladder on my own ...Sigh.
