Bass Blockers for 6.5 less distortion?

[mattro]

has anyone owned any of these things? dont know if theyll actuall do anything or not but check it out ebay

Yes, I've used them. They're just bipolar electrolytic capacitors, and they pass all middle and high frequency audio, but they attenuate the bass, rolling off at 6 dB per octave.

 

Blocking the bass eliminates doppler distortion, and can improve imaging. It also reduces the load on the amplifier driving the bass-blocked speakers.

 

Bass blockers only make sense if:

- you have a subwoofer or other speakers providing the low bass, and

- you know the impedance of the speakers you are hooking these up to.

 

Choose your cutoff frequency to match your subwoofer's upper limit.
