The wavelengths at subwoofer frequencies are so long that you have quite a bit of wiggle room. If on the other hand you have a woofer rather than a subwoofer (crossover greater than about 100Hz although some would argue for 40Hz) then it gets harder. That is what you typically see in subwoofer/satellite and and home theatre box set systems.
I have never noticed any problems with the ~60Hz crossover frequency I use. But maybe I just don't have the required golden ears.
