Hi Active crossovers can be the way to go.  I have a two way system with Marantz ELS that can go down to about 30 HZ (they say) and 205 Liter subs using Altec Lansing 30 cm drivers.  They can reach 20 on the bottom end and supposed to go well up to 1000 or so.  I use a Behringer CX 3400 electronic crossover to 4 identical amps of my own design.  I crossover at 60HZ. The 3400 can do either 2 or 3 way crossover.  It could be what you need as you can select both the upper and lower frequencies and relative gain for each.  It is quiet (I am fanatical about hum and noise) and as best I can tell and measure accurate and doesn't introduce any distortion or other artifacts.  It was not expensive and used ones should be pretty easy to find (new ones also likely).

Good Listening
Bruce
