Noob Q about amp settings

[rmdl51 10+ year member]

Ok I finally got all items to install my new system this weekend, Both Amps I bought (Kicker ZX650.4 & Hifonics bxi606) come with a Bass remote, but do I need to run the bass remote for the comp speakers? I think it's not needed, but if I run it what I would be controlling with that? bass remote won't control anything if the LPF is on? I'm really confused about how should I set the amp settings:

bxi606 is going to power up 2x10" Kicker CVR DVC @ 1ohm

ZX650.4 is going to power up a pair of comps 6.5" PG RSD & 2-rear 6x9 pionners coax

So, if I want to block all lows for comps I should leave on the LPF on the kicker amp? I mean all I want are the mids and highs from the speakers, so is this correct?

same for Subs? should I leave on the HPF on the Hifonics so I wont get any mids and highs from the subs?

One last question, does the gauge of the blue wire (remote) matters? I have a very thin one (don't know the gauge maybe 20-22) and I don't know if I should run a thicker one or that one is ok, I'll be running new sets of RCA's so if I need to run a new one I better do it all at the same time.

Thanks in advance to all input, all help is highly appreciate it!

No....

LPF for Hifonics

HPF or Flat for Kicker

Remote wire doesn't really matter... It barely has anything going through it... you could probably use 50 gauge and be fine!

Also... the bass remote isn't really necessary (and I wouldn't use it) for either... if you're gunna use it, just use it for the hifonics, all though it is not needed!
