What settings?

So since the tweets are getting high passed at 2k then by turning my hpf on 80 wouldnt that hurt the tweets?? Or is the hpf setting for this mids? So wouldnt I want to set the hpf if all it does is protect the mids to 60hz since thats the freq range of my mids Im confused.

It's not a straight cut-off. It's most likely a -18 or -24db crossover. For every 3hz below the filter, you lose either 18 or 24db of output from the amp. Setting it a bit above what the output range of the comps is will ensure they never see anything below what they can handle. If you set it at 60hz, you are still sending audio signal

EDIT: Also, your sub lpf should be set somewhere around the 60-80hz (depending on the sub and enclosure) effectively fading it up as your comps are being faded down. They should meet in the middle barely producing the same middle note. This allows you to 1) cover all notes in the audible range 2) limit cancellation 3) protect smaller drivers from pressure on the larger drivers 4) protect all of your equipemnt

Also, good info. But i dont think he is powering a sub with said amp. But nonetheless good info given.
