Well if you're playing your Maximo off the passives and are rated at 90W RMS irregardless of how much your amp churns out that 90W RMS is what it'll get. A crossover simply filters out a signal. You can add things like impedence correction, where the load seen by the amp at a certain frequency will be higher impedence then that of the drivers.
This can perhaps be seen as limiting power factor when running passives?
Errr... RMS is a average max power rating, that defines how much power (thus volume and SQ and details the speaker gets) from the amp or HU. Its a indication of the average max electrical current the speakers can receive.... and matching them to a higher RMS amp is the fastest way to kill the voice coils....
Also, an amp churning 100W RMS will send an max 100W to the speakers, and the 90W speakers will still get 100W power, it only can output 90W (based on its own ratings...)... the extra current is the best way to burn them speaker voice coils and suspensions....
But then again, what do i know about ICE and SQL (hah hah hah)....

I suppose you are referring to the 3 level setting for the tweeters off the passives right? You can adjust the output level of the tweeter on the crossover to -6 dB, -3 dB, or 0 dB.
Donno... me donno what me doing, me see switch mai simply push up and down lor....
Me donno anything about SQL...
