audio software question

is there software that'll let me put a filter on one of my
audio cards outputs?

id like to put a filter on the rear speaker outoutput, so
only subwoofer frequencies go to my 2.1 desktop speakers
connected to it, while the front speaker output (which goes
to a seperate amp and bookshelf speakers) gets the rest of
the frequencies

basically i want to use only the subwoofer from my 2.1
computer speakers with my bookshelf speakers

heres the backstory:
the bookshelf speakers are a lot better, except that they
dont have much bass, and pushing up the bass on the amp's EQ
muddles the whole sound
the bass from the subwoofer is much tighter, i want to add
it to the bookshelf speakers
unfortunately i cant turn off the satellites of the 2.1
desktop speakers without also turning the sub off

currently i have the 'front' speaker output going to my
stereo reciever tahts driving 2 big book shelf speakers
the 'rear' speaker output is going to my 2.1 altec lansing
computer speakers

i dont use them in a surround configuration, i just use one
or the other.... if im sitting at my computer, the 2.1, if
im away from it, and for more serious listening, the
bookshelf, and i just change the creative sound mixer levels
to move the sound to the 'front' or 'back')

like volume control/surround mixer software that has
individual EQs for each chanel, that would be perfect

the soundcard is an audigy 2 platinum btw
currently to use the surround outputs i have to use
creative's surround mixer software

isn't it easier to buy an subwoofer instead of inventing
warm watter?
is that audigy 2 platinum internal or external soundcard?

i thought there were settings to adjust all that in creative
surround mixer.... if not, you can always go the hardware
route and build a little enclosure with some frequency
limiting capacitors (those are what would do the job
correct?)

its internal

the creative surround mixer doesn't have individual EQs for
each channel, or for each output

only an overall one

it has the capability to control a subwoofer individually,
but mine is hooked to my satellites
how would i go about building this little enclosure? yes
that would do the trick... if its not to expensive

turning off the audio to my satellites while keeping the
control connection would also do the trick.... i can
disconnect the left satellite and the subwoofer continues to
work, but the right satellite contains the volume and
bass/trebble controls, and it has a different connector to
the sub, one with lots of little metal rods, not a usual
audio jack
maybe i could open up the right satellite and disable the
speakers inside (it has 2 small high freq tweeters and a
mid-range speaker) without affecting the on/off/volume
knob..... does anyone know how hard that is to do?

im tempted to mess around with this stuff just for the fun
of it but i dont want to permanently damage them
the speakers are Altec Lansing ATP-3

there really should exist a windows mixer with individual
EQs for each chanel... i mean really now...

Logic Audio with proper ASIO settings will display all
recognized physical outputs in it's environment as MASTER
1-2 MASTER 3-4 etc, depending on your card.
