Looking for a sub to put in my amps loop function


I recently picked up a Peachtree Nova 150 to drive a set of Dahlquist DQ-10 loudspeakers and would like to add a subwoofer into the amps loop function to take the load of the 80Hz and below off of the amp and DQ-10s and onto the sub. I was looking at the rythmic audio F12 but would like to know what other options are out there. Thank you for any and all responses.

6 dB/oct low pass is too slow for a sub. You will have it running up into the mid range. IMHO 12 dB/oct is the slowest I would use. 
Why not just get a sub like a JL Audio with a fully active cross over in it that can be adjusted to suit? If you do not want an active crossover on the DQ 10s just put the right cap on the input of the amp (you have to know the exact input impedance) and passively role the DQ 10s off at 6 dB/oct? If I remember correctly Dalquist's own original cross over the DQ-LP1 had a 12 dB/oct adjustable low pass filter then they gave you a fist full of capacitors to install in your amp. (6 dB/oct high pass)
