Keep in mind that the 301s were made to play properly without an equalizer and the 901's, due to inherent design compromises, need the eq to sound like anything but a table radio.That means, particularly in the Series 1, a tremendous bass boost (I think around 12 - 16 db) which can really stress your amp, not to mention a treble rolloff.
If you really want an eq in your system, I'd recommend a standalone eq with as many bands as possible.

If I remember correctly, Series I were air suspension.

Frankly I cannot notice much increase in bass but I will disconnect it anyway as the results were minimal at best to reduce treble. Another poster suggested getting a subwoofer and I must say I am not a fan of a lot bass so I am quite attuned to excessive bass. The 301's are plenty for me. Even the Realistic Minimus 7's in my bedroom are enough bass for me.
Subwoofers aren't really designed to provide "excessive" bass. They are designed to extend the bass response to below that which the main speakers can deliver.
Of course, many set them to exaggerate the bass and this may be what you're referring to. I think you might change your mind on subs had you ever heard a properly integrated one with the correct source music.
