Joe X Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Its a high pass filter and the simplest implementation is a non polarized capacitor in series, will provide a 6dB per octave roll-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanitarium Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 You're gonna want to block 2k and under to tweets. Maybe even up to 4k. Parts express has stand alone passive crossovers for cheap, or if you're using an external amp, you can get an active crossover on the cheap. And if you really wanna go cheap just get some bass blockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you really wanna go cheap just get some bass blockers i was looking at them, could i just solder caps in the line with mine?
