[QUOTE="maylar, post: 431037, member: 541144"] I used 75Hz bass blockers on my new speakers after blowing one of the Kappas. After a month one of the Bostons also fried. Pissed me off. Then I added an inductor too (for 12 dB/octave hipass) and still blew another speaker. Grrrr. However, my 3.5's are on top of the dash and the Summer sun through the windshield really heats them up, which reduces their power handling capability. Maybe 150Hz would've been better.. but the resistors solved the problem completely. BTW I got the Boston's from the local Tweeter store. Brought the blown speaker back to the store and they handed me another one. Twice. Gotta love retail warantees. [/QUOTE]
