Question about Rainbow SLC 265's

[ls1pimp 10+ year member]

I just got them today, and i noticed on the crossover, there are 3 different settings for the tweeter. (-, 0 db, +3 db). What do these each do, and how do i know which one to hook it up to?

Probably tweeter attenuation. +3 for more aggressive tweeter and 0 to calm it down.

It is tweeter attenuation, you know which one to hook it up to by trying each one and see which one you prefer.

Yep, try them all out and see what fits your taste the best!

its not that simple, i am getting a shop to put the stuff in, and i don't want to have to take everything out when they are done and mess with it. I can say right now that I can't stand harsh highs, they hurt my ears. I love smooth mellow highs. So should I just tell them to hook it up at 0 then?

Its hard to say, thats basically predicting exactly how your speakers will sound like w/o putting it in yet. Maybe try the middle setting (you said there was 3 options) so you know if you want more or less.

nah i was wrong, the (-) is just the negative input. And the positive input has 2 choices, 0db or 3db.

i would go 0db, but thats me. what you can do is ask them to put the crossover somewhere where its not too difficult to access. that way, you can change it yourself. either that or be there when they are installing it, and ask them to hook it up both ways and see which one you like better.
