Dash speakers

[Joey71]

Install dash speakers. But what do i do so they only receive Mids and Highs no Bass

Bass blockers, or you can purchase a decent set of component speakers and put the tweets in the dash.

Where do i find that? Radio Shack? Any idea on Price?

I believe they are just capacitors, what size/rating I am not sure, google will tell you. I think I paid like $8 for 2 but that was over 10 years ago.

i purchased inexpensive tweeters from my local walmart. $20 for 100watt tweeters, and just added them to my front outputs, i dont have amplified speakers, just aftermarket door speakers and 500 watts in a subwoofer, def cleaned up the sound and made it louder, inexpensive solution. good luck

Without a crossover you are not determining the frequency range that can play through the tweeters, also depending on how you wired it, you may have changed the impedance the head unit is not seeing from the speakers. Figuring that you have a set of of 4 ohm speakers, and assuming the tweeters are also 4 ohm (standard impedance for most car audio speakers). Sounds you wired them up in a parallel configuration and may have lowered the impedance. Not sure if your deck can handle a 2 ohm load. May the reason it sounds louder.

I checked crutchfield and they have a few of them with different Hz cut offs.. They vary from 150Hz to 300Hz to 600Hz and 800Hz i have a aftermarket head unit and just want to block all the bass from the dash speakers..
How many Hz should i buy?

Im talking about Bass Blockers...

either way it sounds great and hasn't given me any issues since i installed them in 2007

Crutchfield can help you with that, just give them a call.

OK, this is from the description on Crutchfield. I would get the 800

6-1/2", 5"x7"/6"x8" — 150 Hz
5", 5-1/4" — 300 Hz
3-1/2", 4", 4"x6" — 600 Hz (low power)
3-1/2", 4", 4"x6" — 800 Hz (high power)

Like I said in the PM check out Parts Express: the #1 source for audio, video & speaker building components or Car Audio Stereo - Car Subwoofers - Car Amplifiers and Speakers, both have their specialty sonic being more like Crutchfield but way cheaper.

The last set I bought was from Best Buy and I want to say the rating was for 700mhz or higher. Like Shortbus posted though it depends entirely on speaker size. I told you 300 - 600, which I was thinking more of like a 4" speaker. Not sure what the dash holds (think its 3.5").

Thanks guys 800Hz it is
