Hi all,

I was recommended by the manufacturer of my speakers (coax 6.5's) to add a bass blocker on the positive input. The manufacturer recommended a 200 Mfd @ 100v, non-polarized. Well, i got a hold of them, and they are big. How can i figure out which frequencies they are going to inhibit from my 6.5's? I am going to put them on this weekend, just kind of curious before the fact if there will be any mid at all...

Thanks again!

Jeff

At 4-ohms, 200mfd = about 200Hz high pass.

ive never found a pair to work right, idk i had them installed with my door speakers on my blazer when i was 16 and they just didnt work right, if you got the cash get an amp with a high pass filter or a headunit with that option.
