Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass?

Sorry in advance if these are obvious questions.

I recently picked up two Rythmik L12 active subs to go with my Tekton Lore towers (10" full range driver with super tweeter). The Lores do an admirable job with deep bass (down to 30 HZ) but the L12s destroy them in quality and depth of the low-end.

The towers and subs use separate pre-amp outputs, but share one volume control. The subs are set at 80 HZ and below. Because the towers and subs currently share a lot of the same frequencies (which can potentially cause the bass to be overwhelming) is it possible to add an external crossover style device to cut 80 HZ and below from the main towers? It may improve the mids and highs if the tower drivers aren’t working as hard? And the sound may seem cleaner with greater instrument separation?

Thanks!

look at the new parasound halo integrated amp
it comes with built in crossover and good internal amp

I am going to use the halo amp to tri-amp my system 1digital.

i have the maggie 3.7 speakers driven by Oddesey mono amps 
coming off the halo crossover at 80 hz 

I have a pair of VMPS larger subs with alumn drivers , coming off the low frequencie output of Halo at 80hz , run by two crown mono amps (900 watts each) 

the halo integrated amp will be powering a mini maggie system 
with 2 bass panels and a set of mini maggie satellites that I will use
to fill any holes in imaging and  just get a much more full sound.
They integrate well with the maggie 3.7 , much bigger sound. 
the maggie bass panels will integrate the vmps subs and the maggie 3.7
the bass panels will improve the Maggie bass and the VMPS subs will handle all the low frequencies below 80 hz where you dont notice them ,
