Either way will sound like crap, and probably fry the crossover or the HU, or both. Don't do it.

Re: component set, one crossover

if you are talking about hooking both tweeters and both woofers up to one crossover NO. The impedance would be halved. The crossover points would then all shift and the tweeters would be ruined and the whole thing will sound like doodie.

doodie doodie doooo... dooo dooodie dooodie, doodie doodie doo, doo doo doo doodie

Re: component set, one crossover

Where you use powered crossovers that you manually (actively) set crossover points rather than a passive crossover where the points are already set.
