to be safe I would set it at 200Hz or above without knowing what speakers you have as well as what type of amp you have. If you bought the speaker new you should be able to find specs for frequency response for the speakers and the preferred power rating

no one will know except you. did you set your gains properly? what are your system specs?

what i would do is first set the xover to max. then set your volume to max (based on your gain settings, which might be 80-90% or whatever). then slowly turn the xover down until you hear distortion, then nudge it slightly back up (kinda like setting gains in the opposite direction.  
ideally you want all your components to blend together, but im assuming in your case you just want your speakers to play as low as possible without distorting.
