Power amp high pass filter

I want to run one set of outputs from my pre-amp to my powered Velodyne sub-woofer with its variable crossover set at 80hz, and the other set of outputs using capacitors as high pass filters between my pre-amp and my main power amp. The Velodyne is set up with a L/R input from the pre-amp, and a L/R output to the power amp. I have heard that running a high pass filter into my amp will give me much cleaner sound since I am not running the full range through the subwoofer's internal crossover. Is this true? What make of capacitors should I get (I'm prepared to spend around $20 per capacitor)? What value of capacitors should I get to give me a high pass filter of 80hz?
