Hi-pass filters

My car stereo has a hi-pass filter built in to the amp/tuner (Pioneer). As a result, the bass - with sub-woofer - stays tight over a large dB range. My home subwoofer systems need to be tweaked for each source and sound level to avoid boominess. Is there a similar hi-pass filter I could put in the amp output channels to avoid boominess, without sacrificing quality?

I sent some crazed e-mails to my audiophile friends, all like: <i>Dude, I'm at my wit's end over here. I can't make sense of any of it. I know so-and-so uses a VPI and what's-his-name uses a Nitty Gritty, but what's YOUR method? Huh, huh, huh?</i>
