Ok ive got my 6x9's hooked up to my rockford amp and was just wondering, ok on my HU the HPF(high pass filter) can be turned to . 60-80-100 or OFF. IF i have the HPF on my amp set to like 45 and my HPF OFF on my HU will it cut off below 45 or will it get the signal from my HU and give the speakers every frequecy. I dont wanna set it to 60 because its too high for me

Basically you want to decide if you're using the HU HPF or the amplifier's HPF, not both. They're both going to accomplish the same thing, but it will sound different. When you set the HPF it doesn't cut off bass right at the frequency. That's the frequency at which the bass is already getting reduced. 45 Hz is low enough that you're essentially letting everything pass through anyway. If the 6x9s can handle it then go for it, but you'll increase power handling by setting the HPF higher.
