The crossover link doesn't work because it isn't a link 
It's was just in bold. I was referring to the crossover section at the bottom of that article.
If you're running RCA's, then you do not want to use the high level inputs. Rockford showed both in the pictures to basically show everything at once (saves from having 2 pictures for the same sub wiring, one with RCA inputs and one with High Level inputs). If you look closer at the pictures, you will notice a bold OR with arrows pointing to the RCA inputs and High Level inputs.
The use of High Level Inputs is in case you don't have RCA capability from either a headunit, eq, external crossover, etc... It also negates having to buy an external LOC (high/low converter). However, it is usually recommended that you not use an amps High/Low inputs if at all possible. You usually do not have any type of gain control for the speaker level inputs (unless the RCA gain control works both), and you will usually get a cleaner signal by using a quality external LOC and then providing a Low Level input to the amp. So in short (too late), integrated High Level inputs on an amp are basically useless, unless you have no other choice but to use them.
