bassblockers, or small electrolytic(or w/e) capacitors.

if you have an aftermarket HU theres a setting on most where you can turn the lows and bass out of them. if not bassblockers are you solution

i do have a aftemarket HU but it seems to sound better w/ the EQ off but i may play around with it

would the best one to get be the one that cuts out 0-300Hz?

bass blockers are last resort. just high pass your speakers from your amp. if you dont have them amped then your hu should be able to do this if it is after market. if you have a hu that doest have a steep high pass slope, (most likely cheap hu) then bass blockers, aka resistors, will work as they basically whats used as x/o's on co-axial speakers.

Don't bother cutting out any higher than 90Hz on those, otherwise you'll have a band of frequencies that no speakers/subs will be playing, which is bad, because that range is what some people on here will call midbass.
