Initial sub settings before using MiniDSP + MSO?

Per the title. I'm integrating 2 subs into a 2 channel\ system. The notes I've found say to set XO on the subs rather high, say 100Hz, and not worry, MSO will take care of it all. Subs are a pair of Heco Aurora 30A's, nothing exotic (but amazingly cheap!). So, what about level and phase? I assume that MSO will deal with those as well? I'm figuring on putting phase at 0deg and level at 50%. FWIW, in setting up the system so far (uncorrected), I got by far the smoothest response with both subs inverted. So maybe leave them that way? Any comments would be great. Thanks in advance and cheers,
 
Set the crossover on the subs as high as possible. I make a couple of quick measurements to get the subs and the mains kinda close for their output levels.

Thanks very very much for the link. Exactly what I was hoping for. It should be referenced in all the MSO stuff out there. Super helpful! Cheers,
