Tuning components and sub question please..

I just need a little help as to where I should set the xovers on my tweeters and 6.5"s. They are the the RE XXX components and I have an Alpine H701 so I won't be using the passive xovers that came with them. I opened the xovers and looked at the switches and heres how I set it up.

Tweets - HP 3.2 KHZ @ 18 Slope, LP 20,000 KHZ @ 18 Slope

Mids - HP 80 HZ @ 18 Slope, LP 3.2 KHZ @ 18 Slope

Subs - HP 25 HZ @ 18 Slope, LP 90 HZ @ 18 Slope

Does this look ok to you all? I've never run active so I'm not quite sure. Whats the lowest I should set the tweeters to play and whats the highest the mids should get? Thanks for your help!

Also, I have a weird problem. Yesterday I hooked the the Power 1000 to the door speakers and turned on all the remote switches because I forgot which one turned on that amp. When I did that the Z1A came on and the subs started to play. I have fuse holder installed inline from my trunk bats to the Z1A but I don't have any fuses in them. How can this amp be on with no fuses in the power line? Thanks again!

sounds like a good starting point, then I would move the subs low pass to around 50 and see how you like that, try going down to 2.8khz or maybe up to 3.5khz. Start with the points you have listed then move them around until you find the sound that you like the best!
