the higher your XO, and the shallower the Q, the more boomy it'll sound and the more vocals you'll get through the subs.
you lose the deep tightness you get from a lower XO frequency.
ideal is usually between 50-80Hz

can you clip or fry your amp if you put the crossover too much? or any other side effects?

Nah...but I dont see why youd even try.
It sounds like crap if you have it crossed
anything higher than 80Hz.
If your stereo is missing "punch" you should
invest in some good midbass speakers
for rear fill, or up front in kicks or the doors.
Dont use a subwoofer to compensate.

Normally youll get a larger gain if you load them
off the back of the car.
so...facing away from you
