Hi OP!
What I suggest instead is that you use a MiniDSP to optimize your sub's output.
The contra of this solution is a single one: Your main amp and speakers won't gain any headroom. Unless dynamic headroom is an issue for you, this is a good feature to loose.
However, the pros are numerous, like staying out of your main audio chain, and optimizing the subwoofer, letting you raise the level, and blend in seamlessly. The MiniDSP will act as a crossover AND digital EQ, letting you clip the peaks. If used in conjunction with bass traps you may even be able to fix nulls.
If you must have an inline high pass filter, the Hsu is probably good enough, but it's another set of opamps and cables, and power supply, along with not being able to EQ your sub, a feature most rooms sorely need.
Best,
E
