Depending on the crossover slope, you'll (usually)still have freq.'s covered between the chosen points. Go with what sounds good (experiment with different settings). Your car, speaker design, crossover quality, etc. will also be factors. I have my subs crossed over at 80 Hz (12 dB slope)and my mids around 90 Hz. Also: the higher the cutoff point, re: mids, the more power/volume you can input (ie., 90 Hz vs. 120 Hz). Happy listening...

you can highpass your components at lets say 160 and lowpass your subs at say 80hz. and with a low db crossover (ex. 6,12,18db) you will not totally cut out the sound between 160 and 80. you will meirly "fade" it out.
The higher db your crossover is set at. the more abrupt the cut off will be. If that makes sence. haha
exxtractor...If you prefger loud a$$ music (like me) i would consider raising you highpass frequency . The higher you have it set, the less distortion you will get. although you may lose some of your lower mids.

cabin gain will not make up for frequencies that arent being reproduced by speakers if the xover slpoes are the same, if you xo you subs at 80 @ 12db/oct and the mids at 120hz @12db/oct, cabin gain will not make up for the missing information, unless like you said the slopes are different
