Please help with crossover points

[2Gemini 10+ year member]

I just got a set of PG 6.5 components installed and powered by a four channel amp. Tweets are on the front channel and Mids are on the rear. As of right now I am not using the provided external crossover.

My headunit has built in "active" crossover. What should I set my crossovers to on my tweets and mids so I don't damage them?

HU Crossover HPF are: 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, and 220Hz

Once again, what should I set my mids and tweets to?

Or should I just use the external crossovers?

Thank you VERY much.

Why not?

The HPF in your deck is meant to roll off the fronts relative to the sub. You can't use it to x-over the tweeters and the mids.

Or should I just use the external crossovers?

I you may want to learn a little more about the process before proceeding. Good luck.

The reason why I did not use the passive crossovers is because I was told i could set the frequencies at the HU since it has HPF and "active" crossover abilities. I'm guessing this is incorrect then?

Here is the link to the manual that shows the available HU Frequency Settings on page 23 if it helps.

I took a look at the page 23. This deck won't allow you to run an active front.

Alright, guess that means I should use the external crossovers.
