on the front 100-140 and it didn't matter, when i had 8's in the rear it was 150-400, you have to not think so much in watts and specs (just my opinion that you are overdoing that part, it is needed, but not as much as you are taking it to). As your ear gets better and more experience you will start to see/hear the windows where the speaker works or it doesn't. i've got 10 inch Prv's that i've crossed as low as 60 hz with 500 watts or more. there comes a place where you have to actually listen and hear what/how the speaker is responding to your adjustments.
