How do you determine the right setting? I know you're supposed to listen to it but what exactly is the optimal effect you're supposed to get.

the xover point should even with the rest of the sound ( from the low passed speak and the high passed one). make it flat, so there's no dip or peak at the xover point.

 

pretty much you want to cross it at the exact frequencey that the certain speaker is made to play, sub 60Hz to 100Hz ish, mid basses 70hZ to 300 and midrange 300 to 3kZ and tweets everthing else, find what it is supposed to play and start from there.
