I assume that you are running your speakers two-way active, in which case the solution is quite simple: Put the eq between the DBX low output and the bass amp.
You will of course need a stereo eq, preferably a parametric one.

will you explain the difference between the parametric eq and the graphic?
thanks,

With a graphic eq you've got fixed frequencies which affect a fixed bandwidth.
In a parametric you can adjust the centre frequency and the bandwidth (Q) it affects.
The advantage of the parametric is that, if you got a wide response hump, you only need one band to 'fix' it where you would have to use may be four or five bands using a graphic ie less processing equals less components in the audio path.
Conversely you may have a narrow spike in the response which does not lie exactly where a graphic has its centre frequencies. A parametric can be adjusted so the centre frequency correlates
exactly to the problem area so you fix only what needs fixing without creating problems in frequencies close by.
The advantage of a graphic is that it is a lot easier to use and you have a graphic representation of what you are doing.
thanks for the replies--the suggestion regarding putting the eq after the dbx and then just running the eq to handle the bass makes a lot of sense. I think I am going to experiment with a used graphic for not a lot of money off of ebay, and then if I like what it does (or if it doesn't quite do the trick) look into a more expensive parametric.

Parametrics go surprisingly cheap on ebay at times.
I bought a nearly new parametric eq for 1/10th of the new price.
ps: Love your tag line, makes me laugh everytime I read it!
