My ex gave me her old set of pioneer dm-40 speakers but they’re very bass heavy when they shouldn’t be say with dialog. After opening the speakers I can see they don’t have a crossover only a capacitor going to the tweeter meaning the woofer is operating full range.
Would this ghxamp crossover be enough to improve audio?

Hmmmm.....
Well, according to a pic of the back of those speakers, they are claimed to be "Active" speakers, which
implies that they have
active crossovers.
But, at the price point of those speakers, I wonder if they are using active very liberally when they really mean to use "powered".
Regardless, a simple cap on the tweeter is pretty common for low end speakers. It saves cost, and it is far from ideal (as you are finding).
But, to answer your questions-- A crossover really needs to be
designed for a particular set of drivers AND the cabinet they are installed in. Ordering and installing off the shelf crossovers is gonna be a crap shoot at best. If those really are active speakers, then that may even be a bad idea.
How close do you have the speakers to a back wall? Or especially, is one of them in the corner?
I really think your best option to start is to see about placement options to improve the bass. Heck, maybe just old school tone controls would do what you want?
Here is a link to a review and the pic that I saw, these are your speakers?
Don't be fooled by the size of the Pioneer DM40 active monitor speakers, they pack a real punch! If you are looking for some entry level monitors, you really should check these out.
