Which crossover should I use?

Hi new here,

I am restoring a 96 Mustang / Saleen and am in the process of replacing interior. I got side tracked on the sterio system due to the butchered wiring I found and blown front amp that was by-passed. After lots of time researching the Mach 460 system I decided to ditch the whole thing.
I now have a Kenwood Excelion, 4ch Fosgate Amp and Mono JL Amp. Speakers are 6.5 seperates for the front and 5.25 seperates for the rear, they are old A/D/S units that were in the car and still sound great, and a JL 12" sealed sub.

Now to my question; The deck has 6 preouts with built in crossover slopes for each preout F,R,Sub. And the amps have crossovers. So which should I use to seperate the sub from the mids? The deck only, the amps only? I think both would be too much? Yes/No?

Thanks,
Derrick

yes, the A/D/S have passive for the mid/high.
The Kenwood is brand new and I hooked it direct to the left front last night, with the internal amp, to play with the internal crossover settings. There is a definite change in base at all settings 40hz, 60, 80, 100. It was very impressive.

Yes, that is correct. But, it's likely the the amp's gain pots are not set exactly correct, but you'll be close.

I assume you're going to use the passives on both sets of comps?
