I'd go in the opposite direction. First I'd make sure that I found a subwoofer capable of playing 20 hz - 30 hz cleanly.Then, I'd set the crossover at the very lowest setting and the volume at the highest reasonable setting.
Then, I'd move UP 10 hz at a time (30hz, 40hz, 50 hz...), gradually turning the volume level down as I moved upwards, in order to obtain the flattest possible response and the smoothest blending of mains and sub.
It is said that one of the biggest mistakes we can make when adding a subwoofer to our systems is setting the crossover too high, which in turn necessitates setting the volume too low.
