Hello! Sounds like a pretty nice setup...My process is as follows: With a 4-channel amp, I unplug all RCA cables at the amp. I set all levels on the amp to zero gain and no bass boost (if applicable). I set all adjustments on the h/u to flat (Bass=0, Treble=0, Loud=Off, etc.) Now plug in only the front channel RCA cables to the amp. Pop in a GOOD quality CD of something you are familiar with that has very good clarity. No Metal if possible. I turn the h/u approximately 3/4 of maximum volume. Now I go back to the amp and start increasing the gain level on the front channel until you get clipping (distortion). Once distorted, back off a bit until clean sound is achieved. Turn the stereo down and unplug the front RCA's. Plug in the rear RCA's at the amp. Repeat volume to 3/4 at h/u and turn gain up at amp til distorted, then back off. The X-overs should cross over to match speaker Hz. rating. I always used subs which can go down pretty low, but you don't want to set x-over too low as bass in the 30hz. range is not optimum. I set mine around 80hz. normally as that is good all around bass in a variety of music. I then set my High Pass X-overs around 125hz. Sometimes you have to go a bit higher to keep the lows out of the satellite speakers, but you get the idea. Hope I did not get you too confused...LOL!
