Turn off bass completely with HPF?

[jragusa 10+ year member]

I have a pair of JBL speakers that are both blown. But I don't really need the bass considering I have a sub right behind them and my front speakers also provide some bass.

So I want to put these speakers in my rear deck just for some fill. Basically just use them as tweeters.

Can I set the high pass frequency all the way up to prevent the speakers from producing bass?

Or should I invest in bass blockers from crutchfield?

invest in new speakers...even if they are a cheap instead of wasting time and money doing something like that.

They are a good pair of speakers (well they were) and the tweeters on them are great. (JBL GTO938's) So, there's no way to turn off the bass completely?

Even if I put the HPF up on the head unit and the amplifier?

you dont want tweeters behind you.

Why is that? This is the first time I'm setting up a custom sound system.

I figured it would be good just to add some fill to the car, especially for the rear passengers.

Yea but if the rear passengers are only hearing tweets then it's useless but if insist on doing it just get a set of tweeter crossover and hook them up to the speakers and only the tweets will play
