70-75hz would be a good place to crossover your comps.

and for the sub around 90-100hz

wow, im bored.

Crossover points are completely install, vehicle, setup dependent. No one sitting here on the internet can tell you where the proper crossover point for your speakers will be. Your subs might be lowpassed somewhere around 50-90hz. Your mids might be highpassed somewhere around 50-125hz. Other than that, it's entirely up to what sounds best to you in your particular setup.

cool aright i was just wondering cuz i was gonna cross over my sub at around 160 cuz i only got 3.5 coaxes in the front =)

Most subs sound UGLY at 160 Hz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
The absolute highest I would cross a sub at would be 100 Hz UNLESS it were located in the front of the vehicle ...

how do they sound ugly? do you start hearing voices or something??

cuz the speakers in my car right now have a hard time playing the bass guitar in the music.

Then you need better speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Don't bump the xover point on the sub to make up for a deficiency in your stereo somewhere else. You need better midbass speakers.

If you bump the xover point on the sub up too high, not only will the subs sound like crap (they aren't designed to excel in that high of frequencies) but you'll likely pull the soundstage behind as well as loose some subbass impact.
