Low Pass Question

[wheatanddove]

I Just Replaced A 6.5 Subwoofer In My Rear Door And Going To Replace The Other Side Next Week But I Thought They Might Have Come With Stock Crossovers In The Doors And Didn't. I Bought Two PYLE Top Gear 6.5 300watt Max Subwoofers And I'm Getting Highs, Mids, And Lows In The Sound.

Any Suggestions On A Low Pass Filter Capacitor Or Anything Else That Might Work?

Do you need them there? A door isn't the right place for a sub. And you will need a amplifier or headunit that has the capability.

Can you get your money back? I don't want to be a *** but those are ******

They Are Just A Speaker With Only The Cone, The Two Way System That Was In There Before Was A Subwoofer And A Tweeter And In The Front Are A Three Way System

A mid range not a sub

 

[wheatanddove]

correct, mid range woofer

Is your radio factory , what vehicle ?

Yes Factory 250 Watt Total, 08 Jetta SEL

Low pass filters of the most simple kind are an inductor or choke, not a capacitor. If the factory speaker setup doesn't include an inductor on the woofer then it's allowing the woofer to roll off the top naturally. If that's the case, then your replacement speaker plays more high frequencies and you have a couple of options.

1) Install a crossover network that isn't matched to your woofer and tweeter and hope for the best.

2) Install a woofer pair of the same model that you took out.

3) Install new full range speakers (coaxials or components) and replace or unplug the factory tweeters. Bypass factory speaker wires in the doors.

Here's The Description:

This is a Brand new lot of*2 (Two) T.I. Metalized Electrolytic 20 uF Audio & 250V*Start Filter Capacitor Absurdly Low ESR (0.0026 O).*And just look at their specs on the attached Certificate of Conformance seen in the last two pictures!*And when you do, just look at those numbers for dissipation factor! For ESR!...

These precision capacitors are an excellent choice for high-Q band-stop and band reject filter designs where the tight tolerance is called out to improve the filter's quality factor.

**** *They also are the ideal choice for a high-end audio project; specifically, the speaker's filter/crossover network, and/or coupling the source acoustic material to the amplification stage in a preamplifier circuit; after all, that's what these high-voltage, low ESR capacitors were designed for in the first place: the exclusive, premium pro-audio power conditioning and filtering market (but since these are metalized*electrolytic capacitors, they may be used in any environment where precise capacitance, very good dissipation factor and excellent intrinsic ESR suppression is required, e.g., sensitive RF/microwave or robotics circuits).

I Heard If You Wire This In Your Connection It Will Filter A Low Pass, No Need For A Whole Crossover. It's Either The Negative Or Positive Side, I Don't Know. But Someone Knows What I'm Looking For.
