bass blockers?

Well I cant search havent been able to in weeks, so my question is what does everyone think of those cheap little in-line bass blockers. I dont have an equalizer and my dash speakers will be run off the headunit. these are the speakers, http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_18595_Kicker_07DS400.aspx

I don't know if they're that effective, but if you wouldn't mind doing a little soldering, I could design you a high pass filter within a few minutes to give you the same results although the size would be fairly bigger

I would be interested in this.....

what you need to know?

instead just save up and get a pair of the PG rsd comps with crossovers theyre like 75 new i think. Does your hu have low and high pass filters?

Basically just need to know the speakers, what frequency you want the rolloff to be, and how sharp it needs to roll off. A budget is also useful as all a HPF really is is a capacitor in series with the signal or an inductor in parallel with the speaker input, and caps of this size can range from cents to over 30 dollars each with the same being true for inductors. The way it works is that at high frequencies, a capacitor turns into a short circuit while at low frequencies it's open, and an inductor is a short at low frequencies and open at high ones. That means that at high frequencies, the cap allows the signal to pass and at high frequencies the inductor isn't shorting the signal to ground, thus allowing it to reach the speaker. The effect is the same: highs to the speaker, lows don't get through. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

PM me if you're interested, or I could probably teach you how to do it since it's really not that hard if you like learning about electronics and filtering //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

edit: open means open circuit, aka, nothing gets through

I'll take the lesson later on....love learning this shit!!! I have some stuff to do right now though.

I'll get with you shortly though.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif

my personal choices would be:

orion

polk audio

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_23091_Polk_Audio_db401.aspx

infinity

alpine

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_18865_Alpine_SPS-400.aspx

another choice would be to buy one of these and separate the, from the 4x6 pannel that way you get "woofy" and tweeter

That's as clear as I can make it without posting actual formulae //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
