Your best bet would probably be to use an op-amp 'integrator' circuit.
Take a conventional inverting op amp circuit and place a capacitor in
paralell with the feedback resistor. the input resistor should be
connected to the speaker wire via a capacitor (use +/- supplies on the
op amp. Use 100K for the input resistor and vary the feedback resistor
to get the desired gain. The integrating capacitor should be such that
C * Rf is appox 0.0001

Once you have the gain about right by juggling the resistors (should be
1V p) you can juggle the capacitors. A smaller coupling capacitor gives
less bass. A bigger feedback capacitor gives less treble.
