Default Crossover resistors

After a speaker cabinet went out on me I took it apart and tested each
speaker , 3inch,4inch and a 15 inch.
All seemed fine.
I replaced the 2 caps (1.5 and a 6) and the resistors (5w 2.2 Ohm) .These
are the same values as the old ones.
Almost no sound was making its way to to the 3 or 4 inch. speakers. I
removed the resistors and it sounds as good as it used to.
My question is what funtion does the resistor play?
Does it protect the speakers from overload?
Thanks
