In reading over the thread again I notice that you have decided to run without a sub. If that's the case, you can certainly leave your crossover at Full, which will feed the components 20hz to 20khz. they are spec'd at 55hz to 20khz, if I'm not mistaken.
Typically your sub would handle the frequencies from 20 to 63hz, and your components will take over at 63hz to 20khz. Since you will be feeding your components frequencies lower than they are spec'd to reproduce, you may want to go easy on the gain control, so as to not overpower them in that range.
If you were to cross them at 63hz without a sub, you will be missing a few octaves below 63, which will bother you if you are picky.......

I suggest this.....Set your crossover HP on your amp at around 60 to 80hz. give it a listen. If it sounds good to you, leave it. If it sounds to you like it is missing something in the low end, switch it back to Full
