Not sure about the EV in question but most powered subs have that type of filter built in
I would do it anyway (and tune it to the specific program material being sent) rather than assume what's built in will always work as it should.
They certainly have a crossover built in but, who knows where the bottom really is and whether it's a true cut or minor shelf.
