Re xxx tweeter protection question

[yusme]

hi guys I have been planning on going active with the 80 prs since you get way more chance to tune your setup I will run the re xxx 6.5 component tweeters from an alpine amp but I heard that to use the hu crossovers and tuning I need caps in the positive wires of the tweters to avoid the low freq from toasting them can you guys suggest what caps should I use for those tweeters, cant find the right info any were thanks in advance!!

you shouldnt need any bass blockers or inline caps when you use a proper slope and crossover point.... I never had any issues with what you've described.

I came across a forum post where a guy screw his tweters due to a pop created by the amp when he turn on the car the second time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
