Hi Russ,Are you thinking about (1) using the preamp to adjust the volume, in combination with a pad-down after the crossover, or (2) leaving the preamp at a fixed setting (e.g., with a gain of 3.5 for CD) and using another volume control after the crossover? I think the former is likely to have a worse signal-noise ratio than the latter at a normal listening level.
Nevertheless, since a pad-down (a voltage divider or a pot) is fairly easy to make and insert between the crossover and the amp, perhaps you can give the first approach a try and let us know whether you hear an improvement over no pad-down.
Do you have any noise issue now with the active crossover?
