high or low pass?

My HU has a high and low pass( both are adjustable like 80-140HZ).. which should i turn on so that i can get less bass from speakers and more outta my sub

you plug the sub into the low-pass side and your speakers into the high-pass side.

High-pass means that it allows high frequencies to pass (higher pitched). Low-pass means it allows low frequencies to pass (lower pitched). You want larger speakers like subs to get lower frequencies (low pass), and smaller speakers to get higher frequencies (high pass). Where exactly you set the crossover point depends on what sounds best with your subs/speakers/tweeters/car/music taste/personal preference.

A good point for 6.5's high-pass is at about 100hz and the subs play below that.

yup, depending on how punchy you want your bass to be drop it below 100 usually H/U have different settings on how to adjust that.

what H/U do you have?

I have a sony Xpold HU Im just starting to build a nice audio system... The Sony stuff was my base and after the H swap i will be upgrading...

System sounds way nicer though with the High pass on the HU set at 120HZ and my Sub amp set at Low pass 120HZ

if that's your purpose you should adjust the high-pass as high as possible
and the low-pass as HIGH as possible, too.

but doing this doesn't mean sounding good.
as mentioned in earlier reply, 100Hz is a good point to start.
set both high-pass and low-pass at 100Hz and play arround
with setting each up or down to get the sound you like best.
