I have pioneer avh head unit with built-in crossover and want to install hifonics bass digital processor. Hifonics manual says bass processor must be installed before crossover but this is impossible as crossover is built in head unit. Any help will be appreciated.

Unless you use an external crossover you have no option but to connect it to the bass output of the head unit.

The processor takes higher frequency bass and shifts it to the lower bass. If it doesn't get that higher frequency bass the effect won't work as much.
The higher up in frequency the crossover is set the better the processor will work. If you set it too high however the woofers will be operating outside their optimum range.
Watch your playback levels as the processor will put more stress on the bass amp/woofers.
