"Bass blockers" with components. Install before or after crossover?

[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8816844, member: 587645"] If you are installing a capacitor to block low frequencys, you generally do it closest to the amp. You don't want your mid or your tweeter getting bass frequencies. In your case, the passive crossover will include a "bass blocker" for the tweeter. You can do before or after the crossover and it makes no difference. I installed capacitors directly on my amp outputs for my midrange and tweeter channels as a bit of extra protection. There was some math involved, but the capacitors aren't doing anything if the amp is operating correctly. They are just there incase of an electrical glitch so I don't blow my 3" midrange or my tweeters. [ATTACH type="full"]44077[/ATTACH] Matt [/QUOTE]
