Bass blocker advice

dale tallman New member Username: El7 Post Number: 2 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, October 28, 2005 - 01:04 GMT I'm trying to determine whether I need to install bass blockers or not. I'm installing alpine 170 a & 460a. I have a powered sub. There is no other amplification other than the sub. I'm hoping for good overall sound. Nothing mind numbing. Thanks...

If the sub is in a ported box, set the highpass filter about 0 - 10 hz lower than the port tune, and leave the low pass at 80 hz like before.
