Quick question

Im installing my new components in my door right now, on the cross over it says 0, +2 and +4.

The +2db and +4db are attenuation settings. They can affect the way your tweeter sounds (brighter, etc.). You should try them out and see which one you like the most. I personally like a bright tweeter so I've set mine to +3db.

The only way to correctly answer this is for you to hook it up in the car and listen, your car may be reflective and the tweeter may be too bright (I have my tweeters at -6 at the crossover)
