Amps are load reactive, so a passive xover will reduce the load. However, a passive xover, espescially at low frequencies, is a load in itself and highly reactive and parasitic.
For the price, the active and flexible Paradigm X30 is an easy choice but I don't think Paradigm makes them anymore because they have switched over to active subs. Easy to find on the used market still.
It's generally easier to integrate using speaker level outputs but that also compounds error.
