mine is at somewhere between 70-80Hz right now, but it also depends on the sub you have.

haven't toyed with that, but I use a three way set and my midbass drivers do the job from 50 - 200 hz effortlessly

80hz. Sometimes lower, but at higher volumes my speakers can't take all the power if cut so low.

50hz

I run my midbass's full range, they play pretty low. Anything higher than 50hz for me sounds poopy, I get that resonating bass from the trunk and my soundstage gets sucked to the back, I hate that crap.

Yeah, set it to whatever sound best for your speakers and your car...

For pop music I'll keep it at 125Hz...but for bass intensive music like hip-hop, dub, etc. I'll set it to 80 so the mids can handle the drumkicks and leave the sub alone to do the bassline
