Yes, you can safely disconnect them, provided there's no other components (such as an electolytic, which looks like a little can with wires connected to either end.)
These controls are passive: they cut the sound by bypassing some of the output through a parallel resistor. When you set the control to maximum, you are effectively bypassing this resistor.
If you do have an electolytic connected to the control, make sure you solder this in series to the speaker: this component prevents the bass notes from damaging your tweeters, as well as trimming the sound.

If they are the problem then go for it. If not keep them in line. Sometimes a cleaner/degreaser is all they need.
