I have a pair of 12" Rythmiks in very heavy DIY sealed boxes. And B&W 804S.
Try running the preamp line out into Rythmik's crossover, take the line out of the plate xo and feed your amp. Your amp and your speakers will no longer try to reproduce signals below 80Hz. You will need to adjust the PEQ controls to get optimal response. If you have means to measure, the better.
This was an eye opening experience for me despite my hesitation from being a purist. My preamp was a Lamm so I was assuming the cheap xo in between would suck. It didn't!
That was the beginning of my journey into an active system. No looking back for me.
