New set up, need tips

[DOHCVTEC190]

Just updated my system. Here's the gist of it:

Alpine CDA-9887 (with Imprint tuner)

Alpine PDX-2.150

JL Audio C5-650 (Front Stage)

Alpine SPS-600 (Rear Fill)

I don't plan to run a subwoofer. I was wondering what the best way to set up my system would be concerning the high pass and low pass filters and crossovers. Should I run the amp still high passed? and if so what should I cross it over at? 80Hz? Or should I leave the filter off.

Basically, I just want to run the front stage components and rear coaxials and have adequate bass without a subwoofer. And I'm not sure if using the high pass filter limits the bass on the system.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

either way is good, just make sure your speakers dont distort. play around with it. i ran alpine type s 6.5s and 6x9s in my old car and used the high pass filter on, but also ended up having two 10s.
