How to setup crossover frequencies etc

because you are using the polk passive crossover, you should have it set to standard mode, otherwise, ditch the passive crossover, and wire the woofer and tweeter to head unit

Check your manual. when in network mode, your speaker outputs will be... Rear changes to Mid (for woofers) and Front changes to High (for tweeters) I believe.

As as aside... I just ordered a pioneer head unit after I discovered the existence of network mode. It's a feature I have wanted for many years!!!

I previously didn't consider the pioneers because they don't have a volume knob... but I had to have the network mode, particularly since I want to drive the front speakers off the HU.

Does anyone happen to know where the factory speaker crossover point is?
