I have a kenwood 4x500 amp, I use 2 of the(lpf) channels bridged for my components I would like to use the hpf channels for my new tang band 3" drivers but the hpf is fixed at 80 hz is this to low of a freq. for those speakers. I beleive i need to be above 500hz for this to be ok.the amp puts out 40 watts rms per channel.any input?

That is an equalizer, with adjustable center frequencies. The crossover is labeled HPF just as it is on the amp.

You do have several options, but unfortunately, they all include new equipment.  Either an amp with an adjustable crossover, a new radio with a built in crossover.  that you can set as a 3 way crossover (this will not be a cheap radio)  Or a stand alone 2 or 3 way electronic crossover.  Probably the cheapest route.

The only thing you need to check is to see if it has separate crossover points for front and rear.    Do you have any other speakers in the same area to cover the below 500Hz range?

yes it does have front rear crossover points and I have 6.5 components in the doors and a set 0f 12s for the lows, the 3s would be in my dash.

You will have to use the rear channels of the radio to feed signal to the channels that are connected to the components.  I think I read you have them bridged on the amp.  You will get much better sound if you wire them in stereo.   Set that crossover to 80 or 120.   Then you will have to connect the radio's front channels to the channels of the amp that are connected to the 3.5s and set the crossover to the higher frequency.
