Would you let speakers run at full range or would you use a high pass filter on a 4-channel system without a subwoofer?

Would you run the system Full-Range? or High Pass at 50hz? 60hz? 70hz?
Hilleberg - Hilleberg Soulo BL 4-Season Mountaineering Solo Tent
Anyone with experience on these two tents? Looking for a harsh weather backpacking/mountaineering tent. For use in Patagonia, Iceland, and Norway. And for summits like Mt. Rainer/Baker.
They both look to fill a similar role, but the poles are different (thicker on Slingfin) and the fabric is different (thicker on Hilleberg BL).
What seems more important? Thicker poles, or thicker fabric?
I just got back from a backpacking trip in Patagonia. I took my Durston X-Dome 1+ and ended up breaking some poles and tearing it up when the group got hit with 70+ mph (118 kph) wind that was well over the week out forecast.
My question is, how do you decide how much tent you need? The experience has made me reevaluate how much tent I bring on my trips. I was trying to save weight as everyone does, but now I'm thinking "damn I need to bring the 8-10 lb bomb proof tent everywhere now".
Since most trips are planned months in advance, the answer almost always, we go no matter the weather. It would have to be a hurricane for us not to backpack.
I took my new X-Dome 1+ to Patagonia and it got pretty beat up. Destroyed the middle cross-pole and ripped the trekking pole supports. Any tips for pitching the tent in such high winds?
I had the tent storm-pitched with guylines as described in the Durston Pitching Guide. I had to add the trekking pole supports as well. Unfortunately no photos of the pitch those nights, as it was windy and pouring rain while setting up.
The winds were not originally forecasted to be quite this high when deciding to bring the tent to Patagonia, but I knew winds would be high relative to most places.
