You will have to experiment with the control to see what sounds best to you.  Personally I do not like anything above 70 Hz. coming from my sub.

It's a matter of taste and how well you can integrate with your system, but I always recommend for a daily driver starting with the LP crossover set to about 100-120Hz, then work down from there to discover the "sweet spot" that gives you the sound you want.
