Should I use my Amp or internal crossover on my HU?

[QUOTE="ItsHammer, post: 8703058, member: 679417"] Hi. Kind of new, kind of not new to car audio. It's been a good 10+ years since I've bought anything audio related. I just bought and installed some powerbass components in the front doors and powerbass coaxial in the rear doors on a powerbass 4ch. Not the best equipment but it's a good starting point to get back into audio I suppose. My question is, should I use the hpf on my Amp to adjust xover settings, or leave it on full and use my internal xover hpf on my head unit? My HU is a pioneer 501ex. As of now I have my front set to full range and am using the hpf on my head unit. Just easier to adjust not having to go to the trunk I guess. Is this the more preferable method? Any advice? Should I set them both to hpf? The rear coax are set to hpf on both Amp and head unit at about 80hz with a - 12db drop off. Mainly using them for minor rear fill. Honestly I don't even notice them sitting up front. Also, no substage yet. I want to get my Soundstage right first. Thank you for your time [/QUOTE]
