I got some 3/4" tweeters that pop sometimes, so i figure id need some bass blockers (using factory deck)

anyone know what Kh/Khz of a bassblocker i should get? Where can I find them? I tried bestbuy, FS, and 2001 aud vid

Also, does anyone know how to make your own?

bass blockers rarely do anything except with small speakers 3 1/2" 4"
your tweeters should already have bass blockers (a capacitor)
what your probably hearing is your deck crapping out
so get an amp to drive them or turn it down

The tweets he has doesnt have caps inline. Im pretty sure they dont)

Kris

i can see if he's running it active or forgot to put the crossover in

If the tweeters don't have a little capacitor on them then just buy a set from like www.partsexpress.com

I believe they are a part of the cdt upstage kit, the attenuator is used to adjust tweeter levels but it must be used in conjunction with a cdt xover with attenuator output, as the tweeter is xovered through the passive xover. Thus i dont think he has any caps inline already.

The source/radio shack may have them as well Mike.

a high pass passive crossover always has a capacitor
go do some research
its basic car audio 101

Also if they pop just once, they are probably dead now. Tweets can't handle that sort of thing.

i can see mr batta that you actually have no clue what your talking about
go take a look at any high pass crossover
there is always a capacitor in it
and its inline weither its 6 12 18 24 36 db per octive crossover
its really interseting to sit back and see over time who actually knows something and the ones who don't

i put a 4.7uF cap on each.. it was recommended by someone at a local audio shop, I dont know what hz its at though.

They dont seem to pop anymore however

what the hell are you talking about? we are still talking about whether or not the tweeter itself has a cap or not.

besides the point, but yeah im glad it work'd out for yah man..

Kris

professor do you have something that looks like this wired to your tweeters

im talking about a capacitor ie: crossover ,filter, bass blocker
what ever name you want to stamp on it they all do the same job
just have a different handle

No Sir, as I mentioned before I just replaced the stock tweeters with these by cutting the plugs off and soldering them to the new ones

then you should look at getting the proper crossover from cdt for the tweeter
usually they come with the tweeters

for tweets a good suggestion was made to you already 4.7uF u=micro F = farads

if your mids pop I would suggest 100 or 150uF(if using a 4 ohm speaker)

this will give you a slope of 6dB per octave

If the tweeters are 4 ohm then your 4.7uf caps are crossing them over at about 8500hz - which is fine at that slope.

Like i said before if you read what he posted than you would understand what im saying.....

He has NO crossover installed whatsoever... Im the one that sold him the stuff... [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

if you read my post i said

and you said

the words im pretty sure they don't means
they do or they don't?

so maybe you should go re read what is posted

So i noticed on my stock tweeters there are 1uf caps, should I place these on my new ones or just keep the 4.7uf caps?
