[QUOTE="thch, post: 1708458, member: 562032"] SlammeD SiR: the orignal poster's question was in regards to a passive highpass filter for the purpose of limiting the bass played by the speaker. This is useful to prevent the smaller speakers from overexurting. It also is useful in blending the sounds from the midrange with the sounds of the subwoofers, but only if maximized bass is not your goal. The crossovers on component sets do not do this. The component set crossovers are only to blend the sounds from the tweeter with the sounds from the midrange. Many users will use an external amplifier for component speakers and this amplifier will have a highpass option. Some source units will also have a highpass option. Using a pre-amplifier high pass filter, the bass can be removed without need for a large passive filter. Thus if you have a decent HU or amp for the components, you will not need to calculate anything. likewise if you really don't care about the sound and the speakers are not distorting due to excessive bass, you will not need to calculate anything.
