    Well, the over all frequency response of those speakers is 45Hz - 24kHz. If you are talking about THX, they set their subwoofer crossover at 80Hz. However, Dolby Digital sets their at 90Hz. Setting This is implying however that you are using a subwoofer. If you have only those speakers in stereo without a subwoofer, no crossover is needed. 80 Hz is a generally desirable crossover frequency in most applications. I hope this helps.
