you (and by you i mean everyone who reads this 
) have to keep in mind that crossover points are contingent on the slopes being used, they are not vertical walls. even at 80 with a 6db slope it still rolls off (severity depends on the slope) and you have frequencies below that being played by the speaker. for anyone wondering what i am going on about you can take a look at this page:

while the arcs may be rated to play down to 65hz not many 6.5 speakers can handle that frequency range. for example in my cars with a 2-way front stage the mids (similar to the 6.5 speakers) play from 3.2khz to about 120hz, the subs handle everything below that. those points are even higher when i am running a 3-way front stage with a sub, but that is a discussion for another forum.
if you ever have some free time try setting your crossover to 80 and see what happens. it may clean up your sound a little, but then again it may not. much like beauty, sound is in the ear of the listener.
