Sonos Five and third party subwoofer

Hi all!
I have in my living room this setup:

2 Sonos Five 
Sonos Amp
1 Klipsch active subwoofer

My subwoofer is connected to my Amp (there is no speaker connected to the amp)

I’ve made a few tests to get the best from this nice setup but I’m a little bit disappointed because I can’t apply a filter on those Five.
You know the same that is automatically apply when you connect the Sonos Sub (Gen 3).
This low-pass filter allows the Five to give their best!
Of course I tried it but bass was not as good as the Klipsch one.

I’ve spend a lot of money to buy the Amp only to add my sub and I think it would be logical in my opinion that Sonos offer this software update to customers.

What do you think about it?

I really like the Sonos Five and they sound fantastic. For me even as a stereo pair without a sub… But I ask myself, if you already have this amazing Klipsch subwoofer and also a Sonos amp, why not just adding 2 high end passive speakers to the amp instead of using the Fives at this place.
