There really isn't much point in having a 30 Hz high pass filter on your main speakers. If your intention is to run your main speakers as low as they can go and add the sub to fill in frequencies below that, you don't really need a high pass filter. The high pass filter is only necessary if you're crossing over higher e.g. 80 Hz, and I would only do that if you want more SPL out of the system.

Also, I don't think you will benefit from running the subs in stereo when you're using a crossover frequency of 42 or 44 Hz. That would make more sense at 80 Hz.

If I were in your shoes, my next upgrade would be a single active sub that can play down to 20 Hz, and eliminate the passive XO.
