upgrading inductor


i would like to know if its possible to change original inductor on a speaker cross over for a higher gauge but keep the same value for the INDUCTANCE and RESISTANCE

What do you mean by "higher gauge"? If you intend to use thinner wire (skin effect) and keep the same resistance and inductance you can achieve this by using tape woven inductors. Many good speakers have tape inductors but also many very good speakers don't. I doubt if it makes any difference because skin effect in copper at 20kHz starts at gauge 18 but at this frequency but overall effect is negligible.
