In HT applications, you can use the processor's crossover setting
(usually
80 Hz), and then set the subwoofer's to '200 Hz' so it's 'out of the way'

Are you saying that since crossovers often alter the sound near the
crossover freq the maker allows you to set the crossover freq so high
that what is played is completely out of the range which is altered by
the crossover circuitry?

If you are using an active subwoofer in a home theater application, then
typically the receiver's crossover is utilized (not the crossover on the
subwoofer). In order to 'disable' the crossover on the subwoofer, you
simply set it to it's highest setting (in this case, 200Hz).

If you are using the subwoofer in a different setup, e.g., two-channel, for
additional bass extension, then you would set the subwoofer's crossover
based on the low-end response of your main speakers.
