Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers

I have a 50 W amp for 86 dB bookshelf speakers.

I really want to keep both amp and speakers.

My idea is to have an electronic crossover on preamp out, split the signal say at 80 Hz - Send the lower electronic cross over out to a subwoofer.  Send the high crossover out to my existing 50 W power amps.

This would extend speaker frequency range to subwoofer capability - say 25 Hz, reduce the power amp load and allow to play the bookshelf speakers a bit louder,/ have more headroom.

I am sure others have already done.  What cross over did you use?  Was it successful?

I can personally highly recommend Marchand Electronics, very high quality gear at reasonable prices, options galore, and excellent service. The owner called me to double check that I hadn’t made a silly mistake in ordering. Of course, I had, and he saved us both time and headaches by being a savvy business owner and electronic engineer. 
 

enjoy the listening,

Dave
