for 40-60hz what you really need is an external crossover. something like the behringer crossovers. problem is, many audiophiles complain that a unit like that "changes" the sound of the speakers.
most built in low pass crossovers of subwoofers are fixed at 80hz, for example, you feed your subwoofer the full range signal, connect your speakers to the speaker level outputs, and then you have relieved your speakers of 80hz and below. <- this is the simplest solution
another option for you is to look at hsuresearch.com, I think they have some bass management stuff.
and yet another option is to buy an fmod crossover (that's IF you have a separate preamp and amp setup) <- this fmod looks just like an RCA jack, except longer
