Then increase the gain on the sub. As long as it is not distorting or clipping; it should give you more oomph!
Try moving it behind your listening position. If you are looking for LFE feel, check out the bass shakers (Dayton makes some affordable ones and Buttkickers rock your chair!).
A friend has buttkickers on each of the 3 chairs in his theater room and that Matrix scene is vivid.
You could also try a higher crossover frequency and increase the gain. It might become boomy for music though.
It would be interesting to look at the roll off graphs of your Yamahas and the Klipsch to see which is the best crossover point. Not knowing these graphs, I wold venture to say that at 70hz you are already giving yourself a pretty wide range to the cutoff of the yamahas at 55hz. You just have to level match now to have a more seamless integration.
As an option, put it in use only for movie effects and crank it up!
