Sorry, that doesn't make sense. Are you talking about using them without the passive crossovers and instead using the crossover on the amp?

Yea they came with their crossover u know the boc the divides the mid and the tweeter. .but I wanted to see if I can used the mids without that crossver straight to the amp and at what hz set them to on the amp

Use HPF set at 120Hz, then listen to a few songs you're familiar with. Adjust up or down from there, depending on what you like and where the woofer sounds best. Also, make sure you set your gain conservatively. Without a passive crossover, the speaker needs less power.
