What does it mean to run the Maggies at full-range?
And what is the LP filter?
Follow Ups:
Full range -- no filter on the Maggies, just like you would do if you did not have a sub.
LP (low pass) filter allows signals lower than the specified frequency to pass and blocks signals above-- it's the setting you use for the sub. A HP (high pass) filter allows signals above the specified frequency to pass (and blocks signals below). Often the bass management system uses a HP filter to restrict the signal to the main speakers to 80 Hz (typical for home theater) and above. As I mentioned, this is a no-no for Maggies.
For completeness a BP (band pass) filter restricts the signal to a range and is typically used for the mid-range driver in a 3-way speaker.

The location of the listening position makes a big difference in the bass that you hear.You need to experiment with your seat at various distances from the rear wall to find the best spot for bass.That can be done without the subs.Once you know where you will be sitting,you can then determine where to place the subs.
It means that you do not put them through a line level crossover nor use the subwoofer's crossover crossover before the speakers so they play the entire signal.
The LP is the low pass filter in the subwoofer or in a receiver/integrated amp with bass management features or with an electronic crossover. It is part of a crossover network usually comprising at least one LP and one (or more) HP (high pass) filters
