Vandersteen 2wq x-over help

Hi. I have a Hovland Sapphire amp and I need to find out the correct values for the x-over. The output imp is 680kOhms. I tried emailing Mr Vandersteen a few weeks ago, but I haven't received an answer; very annoying considering I purchased his product.

So can anyone help please? Thanks.

The dip switches are 1-8, and the ones noted below are in the ON position.
Start out by going with the 200 K setting but do not go lower I will try and see what would measure higher
when I get a chance

100KOhm : 4 8

Further thought is that with a nice Amp like you have
your best served with the Vandersteen 5 A High pass units.
they are available on audiogon in either RCA type or XLR
You can contact me if you have no Vandy dealer and I will coach you through.

All OP wants is the proper starting value for FIXED crossover, folks. As he says
I didn't get WX-2, but I did get a set of 50k resistors.

Swampwalker, Are you familiar with Vandersteen subwoofers?
