Maggies and subwoofer integration

I'm running a Schiit Saga+ into a B@K EX 422 Sonata, into MG-1 maggies. Wanted to add a subwoofer, and was wondering if by just using the second output on the Saga+ to the line level input of the Velodyne Sub I have, would just be adding bass heft to the MG-1's, as there's no built in crossover in the Saga+?

I would optimally want the Sub to takeover from around 60HZ, and aleviate the bass duties of the maggies.

Would it be a waste of time and no real benefit? Would running the signal from the B@K directly to the subwoofer be any different regarding the delineation of the frequency duties?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I completely agree that careful integration seems to be the exception. 
 

Also, I am always skeptical about integrating subwoofers with planar speakers. The planar speakers are so fast and most subwoofers are so slow. It would be really challenging to do it well. Doesn’t Didn’t) someone offer planar sun woofers?
