In the video he uses a Marchand electronic crossover (which I highly recommend) to frequency divide the signal after the preamp and before the amps (80 Hz low pass goes to one amp that powers the passive woofers, 80 Hz high pass to another amp that powers the Maggies). I highly suggest this being someone who has done it for years, but like they guy in the video I use passive woofers. If you haven't bought any of the equipment yet, I would figure out how to best implement the solution, then buy the components. Biamping with passive woofers versus integrating one or more active subs with or without an active crossover in the mix is another.
