Bronze Member Username: NmePost Number: 20 Registered: Apr-04 | Right now my car has 3.5 kicker 2 ways up front and 6x9 3 ways in the back. I also have a kicker solobaric 12 in a vented box. I dont like the fact that i cant turn my speakers up too loud without getting nasty distored bass from them. Im wondering if i should get bass blockers and if so what kind? The only thing im worried about is not having any mid bass. But is seems like my 6x9s are trying to play things they shouldnt. I also noticed that on my headunit pioneer deh 7600 the subwoofer controls are for the most part seperate from the others. Can i tune out the bass that way? Im looking for a good fix until i can afford an amp, 6.5s and new kick panels in my car Any help is appreciated Thanks Mark |

Anonymous | Your speakers are 4 ohm, so match what you want with a bass blocker that is rated for that value at 4 ohms, you're stuck with 150 and 300, which will work, but you need to adjust your sub crossover to compensate what you don't have on the other speakers. Simply put part #s PAC BB-150A2 and PAC BB-300A2. Another alternative is to look at other brands of bass blockers, Rockford Fosgate has some, and there are others that have different frequency ratings. |
