today i was talkin to my mom's friend about car audio and he said he had an amp from his last car that he'd give me so it turned out to be a kicker impulse 652xi. heres the specs, it seems like a decent little amp. but is it worth powering my fronts or is it trash? oh and bout that crossover, its just a switch? so if i used to for my components i would just switch it to 110 eh? but my headunit has built in crossovers too, so no biggee there.

If you use your HU crossiver, set the amp to "all pass."  If you use the amp crossover, set it to "high pass" and yes, 110 would be fine, as long as your sub is low-passed that high.  If the sub is closer to 70, set the high pass on this amp to 70.  Leave that bass and treble boost set to OFF (or "zero.")
