Hi Pass, Low Pass or All Pass

Asking for feedback on amp setup. Please let me know if I am on the right track.

On my boat I am installing three amps. Dual channel for the tower speakers, mono amp for the sub and dual channel for the boat speakers.

On the sub amp I am obviously running the low pass crossover.

On the boat speaker I am running the high pass to my 6 in. coaxial speakers. Is this the best? It seems to go louder ths way and I am pretty happy with it.

What should I run on Skylon Defcon III's? (4, 6.5 in. Image Dynamics mid-bass with tweeters) Can these speakers go with the all pass mode and still be loud and clear?

Thanks in advance

You should run high pass around 110 to 120 hz for the tower speakers. The high pass will keep the speakers from distorting at the high volumes. You do not want any low frequencies going to your tower speakers.

William nailed it, I might even go higher, try different things and watch the cones. When they start flapping around too much raise the crossover point to remove some of the bass.
