Why would R-C filters improve bass?

I recently built some R-C filters using Al Sekela's recipe (thanks so much for your help Al!, and I've noticed something intriguing. If I plug one of these into each of the outlets feeding my powered subs (I have a self-built stereo pair of powered subs, each fed by its own outlet (shared circuit between the two I think), and my system is on its own dedicated outlet/circuit), the overall sound of the system improves, but the striking thing is that the bass improves dramatically, getting both tauter and deeper than without the R-C filters. I've tried repeatedly removing and replacing them, and each time, I hear the same change. Why would this be, or what would this indicate might enable me to further improve the sound of my system?
Thanks
Chris
