Default cleaning mud

hey there

I was just wondering how many high and low pass filters you guys/girls are generally using when mixing rock/metal music.. Basically music with big guitars, thumping kick etc...

I'm having trouble getting my mixes to be as defined and clear as i would like them to be, i've been rolling off the lows usually like this

bass - 40/50 hz
kick - 60/70 hz
over heads - 200/300hz
guitars - 200/270 hz

I don't really know what else to say, basically everything is sounding fine in my monitors but when i listen back on my stereo it's muddied up... I know allot has to do with the room but even when i start cutting instruments at 240/300hz it's not getting any better

just looking for some advice thanks, mainly for the guitars i would say
also what do are instruments do you generally apply low pass filters too and at what cutoff frequencies
