filters on speaker cables

I have a slightly long winded question on adding filters to my speaker cables to bleed of low frequencies. So is it possible to add a filter to each speaker cable to lessen to load on the amp when reproducing low frequencies? And if so what value,where do I get them, and how do you install them? I would like to add a stereo pair of quality subs to my system. I am using a Modwright KWI 200 integrated amp with Tyler Acoustics Woodmere II Speakers. I love the sound of the integrated but no way to add a crossover to the system as is. There are many here that say adding subs and lessening the load on the amp and main speakers has great results, so much so, that I really want to try it. So I am looking for another option without buying separates. Any advice is greatly

Thanks fellas, this is what I thought the response would be, I was just hoping someone knew more than I and had a solution. I will continue so save my meager wages to some day step up to good separates and the save even more to try the subs. I seem to have my heart set on reducing the load on the amp and main speakers, maybe I'll rethink that, thanks again, Allen.

There is no problem with the bass response of the Woodmeres, like a lot  of people I'm just trying to find a little more and a better. That's what we do isn't it?

Hello Bob, I have a 5.1 set up with a single Paradigm Sig 12 sub and use the HT bypass when watching movies. I will likely move on from this idea and dream up something else to obsess over, thanks for the good advice. I had read so many threads on here describing the benefits of two subs with crossover to lessen the load on main speakers and amp for two channel that I was hoping that I could find a way to try it without buying separates. Looks like that is what I'll have to do to implement what I am wanting to try, thanks again, Allen.

Hello Bob, the preamp portion of my Yamaha AVR does not hold a candle the the one in the Modwright when listening to two channel music. I do realize that I could do it that way. But that is not what I had in mind. Truth be told it would have to sound pretty amazing to be better than what I listen to anyway, thanks, Allen.

Also the Yapo is not nearly as good as Audyssey, if only....

Was out of town for a couple of days with the grandkids, but I have spent some time,money and effort on treating my room, and YES it was a major step forward in sound, Thanks, Allen.
