blending Magnepan MMG with SVS subwoofer


Hi everyone,I have been trying to use Magnepan MMG's with a SVS SB-1000 sub & I am having a hard time trying to get them to blend seamlessly,it seems I am having to adjust sub volume for everything I play,mostly rock & some jazz.Not really sure where to set crossover & phase control either,the manuals are not much help.My system is in a office about 13x16 & I am using a Anthem int. amp with plenty of power,the preamp outs are connected to the subs inputs,i use this system for mostly cds with a Oppo SE-83 player & Tascam BR-20 reel to reel recorder.I guess my question is where to start with the controls,the sub is about half way down side wall,the only place I can really put it.Any input would be great,thanks.

Thanks everyone for your responses,i have been playing around with the placement of the sub & that is getting me very close to where i want to be,with the Maggies running full range & the sub running off my preamp outs on my amp,volume is about 1/2 way up & crossover is at about 60 hz.Adding another sub as was suggested would probably also help blend things better,but for now i am just trying to get the best sound out of what i have in this small room.
