Maggie 3.3R high pass crossover frequency for sub

I got an SVS SB16 Ultra sub for music for my system. I use the Reaction Audio sub only for movies. My hybrid music, 4.1 HT system is focused on 2-channel music. I try not to compromise the 2-channel sound.
I'm planning on finally getting a high pass filter for my Maggie woofers. I will try buying the HSU high pass filter at 12 dB/octave. I am trying to figure out the high pass crossover frequency before buying. I can choose 2 xover points (use one at a time). I will choose a 30 Hz setting to allow me to basically run full range in case desired. For the main frequency setting for use with the sub, I am trying to decide between 70 & 80 Hz or so. The SVS low pass only goes down to 30 Hz. It can be set to 12 or 24 dB/octave, etc. I am having trouble finding a calculator to figure out where to put my high pass crossover frequency to achieve the flattest response. In other words, what high pass frequency would result in the - 6 dB points matching, assuming I choose 12 dB/octave on the low pass, in order to match the slope of the high pass filter.
I found w/ a meter that my Maggies really exaggerate the bass frequencies from 30-80 Hz or so. So, I am thinking to err on the high side (higher xover frequency) since the SVS gives me lots of tailoring options but with a minimum xover freq. of 30 Hz.
Any helpful comments are welcome.
Thanks.
