[QUOTE="BnGRacing, post: 7450397, member: 557400"] You cannot find Bass Blockers in a 12, 18, or 24dB slope. The only way to achieve those steeper slopes is to add addition inductors and capacitors. A Bass Blocker is a capacitor...nothing more. It acts like a 6dB per octave crossover and using only this on a set of front speakers will be fine. The benefits to steeper slopes is that you can cross them over at a lower frequency and increase the power going to the speaker. At 6dB, I'd shoot for something north of 200hz. At 100hz, you'll be -6dB and at 50hz you'll be -12dB. If you go the DIY route and decide to make a passive 12dB crossover, I'd stay north of 160hz. [/QUOTE]
