magnepans with a sub???

Has anybody tried using maggies with a good sub via a crossover? I used to own some maggies. Loved the sound, but I couldn't drive them to any realistic SPL. I added a sub, and got the bass, but still couldn't get them to a satisfying SPL. I thought if I could could cross them with a good quality sub via a good quality crossover, I may be able to drive them to more realistic levels. Anybody got any thoughts or suggestions?
In advance, thanks!!!

I have 3.6's powered by a Classe CA300. Once in a while I do get in the mood for a crank up session and while it does get up kind of loud, every now and then I'll hear the diaphragm slap/bottom out and I immediately turn the volume down.

I guess I need more power but what I normally do now is hook up my NHT 3.3s when I want to rock.

I was even thinking of getting cerwin vega PA speakers along with their amps for a crazy loud system for when I'm in the mood to really get nuts.
