[QUOTE="its_bacon12, post: 7595988, member: 558729"] Bassblockers are 1st order crossovers at 6 dB/octave. It's not going to "block" must bass if you get one for say 120hz. It will only be 6 dB down at 60hz and 12 down at 30hz. To be effective at taking away the low end and sparing the speaker, you'd need it to start pretty high. 400hz would be a safe bet. If you want to keep your midbass, you need to go active most likely, or develop a 3rd or 4th order HP passive crossover. Not too hard to do something like this generically. [/QUOTE]
