Replcaement for subsonic filter?

[RooTxBeeR]

I remember going through the internet and finding something that acted as a subsonic filter in a way, I think you would connect it to the speaker wire, and it would cancel out what ever Hz that item was for. I am looking for something like this because I have a amp for my 2 subs that doesn't have a subsonic filter and I really hate listening to music that has notes I can reproduce, and on top of that, I have many songs that wang really hard but also has low notes that will destroy my sub if I wang the song. Anyone know of what I am talking about, I remember seeing them and they were pretty cheap only a few $ or so a piece. If there's another solution for something to work as a subsonic filter that would be awesome because I have my subs pretty close to peak power so slammen in and a low note hits, my subs are done.

A bass blocker?

Yeah pretty much, I have 2 10" JBL GT4000d, rms is 120 watts and they are hooked up to a 4 channel bridged to 2, 600 watt amp. Shit hits what the sub can hit obviously, but the notes that it has a hard time hitting sound horrible and some sound damaging, wanted to know if theres something or someway I can do something about the lows since I don't have a subsonic filter.

heres what another member on here suggested to me because my stetsom 2k6d amp i have doesnt have a subsonic filter and is the reason why i blew up my subs because my box was tuned high and the low notes were hitting it and destroying the cone because the sub was bottoming out:

They are called fmods. i personally havent run one but was about to get a set of them for my stetsom amp but i am getting another 2 amps from a guy on here that has a subsonic filter.

I do say thanks for showing me that but damn, that site is really badly made lol. On top of that I have no idea on how to properly find out what ones I need and how to connect them in the right order to get what I am looking for.

lol youre welcome. and yes i know the site is badly designed. i could have my parents make a better site and they suck at computers. lol. but i found another site that had them as well that is easy to navigate through: http://www.earmarkcaraudio.com/Xcart/product.php?productid=17089&cat=269&page=1 and http://store.hlabs.com/pk4/store.pl?view_product=10 the second one in my opinion is better. more to select from. but they are very easy to hook up. its like a 2 second job. just take your rca cables that you normally will put straight into the amp(s) you are using and then plug one of these adapters/modulators into the amps rca inputs and then put your rca cable right onto the module itself. basically it goes inbetween your rca wire that runs from your headunit to your amp to your amp.

If you look close, the fmod adapter has a male and female RCA connector on it. The male RCA end is what gets connected to your amp(s) where the female RCA end is what you hook your rca cables into that run from your headunit to your amps.

Hope that clears things up.

I understand that, my concern was that fact that I couldn't understand the tables on what Hz they are because I have yet to find a Hz range that I am going to go for, well first find what are availible.

Edit: My sub says it can hit 35 Hz, according tot he manual, it is in what i believe close to 1.5 Cu because the size for 1 is .75 Cu. I have a song that says it hits 30 Hz but my subs can't play it, I will check it when I get home on audacity to figure it out to see.

ok i gotcha. i didnt know what you meant before. that is my fault. but i need to know the dimensions i said before then i can help you decide what one of those adapters to buy. now just to tell you, the adapters work pretty well from what i have been reading but ARENT all that accurate. if anything i can recommend perhaps saving some money and getting a fosgate 3sixty.2. i myself i have one and just messing around with it on my amps in my bedroom it does a huge improvement in sound quality and has the high pass, low pass, all that good stuff on the inputs/outputs. i love it and with fosgate releasing the 3sixty.3 now, ppl will start selling their .2's fast.

Ah well, I would only be able to use it for the subs, because atm I have the other speakers running the HU because I only have wires for 1 Amp, so I might set it up to run my 2 amps and put the old 200 watt 2chan to each side of my car. How much do you think a used 3sixty.2 would be?

[kickass audio]

hmm idk. i think i paid like 150ish for mine a month or so ago. mine was used but in brand new condition. there is a guy selling his for 275 shipped with the tuning discs and knob, all the stuff u need. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/98811-rockford-fosgate-3sixty2/page__p__1367261__hl__3sixty2__fromsearch__1entry1367261

Personally i wouldnt pay more than 175 plus shipping for it but thats just me. i didnt get to fiddle with my 3sixty too much because i dont have all my 5 channels of my surround sound going through my car amp but it did sound like a dream when i had it hooked up to my cheap little 2 channel amp. its deff worth the money if you ask me.

Just one thing to make sure is to get the 3sixty.2 NOT 3sixty.1 there is a HUGE difference between the two. the .2 has way more control for you than the .1
