Just recently installed kicker 4 channel amp and I've upgraded all speakers. Should I turn on the crossover or keep them off?

Not enough information to answer adequately.
okay... I'm new to car audio. what would be the benefit of enabling the crossovers on my 4 channel amp that are only powering my speakers, not subs. Head unit is aftermarket Stinger 10"

Benefit is sending frequencies to speakers that don't support them will muddy the sound.
Granted, I am no expert but would suggest you hit up a car audio site for better help in tuning your setup unless you are satisfied simply adding the additional power punch.

Do you have subs? If yes, turn crossover on as Vanburi said, otherwise have crossover off so your speakers get some bass.

I have a separate mono amp that feeds the sub. running dual amp with the 4 channel to all the speakers.

The mono amp should have your sub low pass'd. You can high pass the rest around the same frequency.
