Setting Crossovers

Well this is my first time setting a crossover. THe compenets are Alpine SPX-177R's, I thought setting a crossover was like turining a like a HPF dial and LPF dial but its not obviously, There is like "Jumpers" there are 9 of them J1 - J9, and the manual says to measure the distance from the tweeter to headrest and woofer to headrest and them substract the difference. THen using this difference use the approiate setting in the crossover like "set 5" for example. IT also takes woofer axis into account. I want to set my woofers to play a certain freq and my tweets to playt a certain freq, but it dosent tell me how!!! I hooked just the tweeter and I heard some words coming out of it, them I hooked up just the woofer and heard like high pitch symbol noises coming out.So this is not right Someone has to know what Im talking about??

Ok I found some information that might clear up what Im trying to say. For example if I set the crossovers at "set 3" the LPF would be low Low-Q 2nd order and the HPF would be Low-Q 4th order. WTF does that mean lol
