Amp tune

I am using a pair of three way speakers in fairing with a bridged amp. No other speakers. Is it okay to run these speakers with the high and low pass filters off or should one or both be on?

Lots of variables and lacking information for proper reply.

What headunit
What amp
What speakers
Is there a DSP.

No speaker that fits in the fairing is going to last with the needed volume of a bike without a HP filter

The better name brand aftermarket HUs (kenwood,Sony,RF,Soundstream just to name a few) have crossovers and eqs built in now a days so the amp can be left on all pass/flat.

Yes I understand that but you still must use either a active or passive crossover
