Hi, does it matter in which direction the capacitor is soldered into the positive wire? I'm not sure wether it has polarity and would cause issues if soldered in backwards. Thanks.
Bass blockers are not directional, so the orientation of the Bass Blockers on the positive and negative speaker leads is not important. Polarity is important; the white wire is positive and the black wire is negative.
Bassblockers can be installed onto the woofers in the doors. Bass on the size of the woofer, we recommend this model bassblocker: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_007BB600/item.html
I am installing a set of factory tweeters into a ford edge that do not have them from the factory. I have bought the crutchfield bass blockers. How close to the tweeter do the blockers need to be from the tweeter? Will the blockers block base from my speakers. I am planinning on tapping into the door speakers for sound to the tweeters.
They will install at the speaker locations. Just slide one of the Bass Blocker's connectors onto your Crutchfield speaker harness and the other Bass Blocker connector onto your speaker's positive terminal.
I just installed 2 new 6x9 ds18 speakers into my front door panels and for the first five minutes they sounded great but them started to sound distorted at high volume did I blow them or do I not have enough power? I also have 2 12s in my trunk
Hi The FRONT IN wires are white/white-black and grey/grey-white but who is left and who is right? The same for the REAR IN wires which are green/green-black and purple/purple-black but which is left and which is right? This is not stated in the documentation
Which wires go to the actual Left/Right speakers should not be a necessary detail to install bass blockers. You should be using the same brand/model speaker for both the left and right audio channels in say the front of the vehicle. This means you would be using the same model bass blocker for both of the front channels (same for the rear channels too).
Do you have any videos on how to wire in an ohm resistor and what resistors are best to use? Stock speakers are 8 ohm and I have infinity ref 3032, they are 4.
This depends on many different variables specific to your own setup and speakers. If you want to check out all our available bass-blocker options for different frequencies check out the link below! www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/shopsearch/bass_blockers.html
Front and rear speakers in my new bronco are both 4inch. Should I get be using bass blockers on both? I will also replace 6.5 inch speakers below dash and do not plan to use them there
Hi Vincent, adding the bass blockers can be a plus in most cases with smaller speakers; but what are you using for power? Do you have any larger drivers or subs as part of this system?
I am using a kicker 200.4 and am wondering about what size blocker to use and if I should wire the speakers in series instead of parallel (8ohm vs 2 ohm) for the dash speakers. Using Crutchfield supplied adapters with 4” and 6.5” kicker ks speakers.
The 8-ohm Pyle PA-style horn speakers are not designed for connection to an aftermarket radio that prefers to drive 4-ohm speakers on each channel. They have a 500Hz to 5 kHz frequency response so a band-pass filter would be required, a Bass Blocker would not be a good choice.
Hi I am in UK just bought a new Rav4, I want to upgrade the dash speakers which I ordered JBL from the US, one side has dual speaker I understand one is for SOS. Is there any advice you could give on how to upgrade that speaker? I was thinking of removing the SOS speaker and moving it elsewhere, but not sure how to extend the cable. any advice would certainly help. I certainly will put in an inline capacitor as shown on your Video.
Sorry, we won't have specs on the UK version. If you want to take some measurements though and reach back, we'll be glad to see what we can help you match up fit wise; but you'll want to double check on how that is wired in as well.
As long as the capacitors in the bass blockers are not polarized, the bass blockers can be connected in either direction. And the good news is that the bass blockers we sell are not polarized! They can be found here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/g_761/Bass-Blockers.html
There is a chance that a midrange driver needs more audio blocked than a bass blocker can do. If that is the case with yours or if the amp will exceed 50 watts RMS going to the midrange driver, then bass blockers will not work. Were you able to identify the brand and model of the midrange driver you are referencing here? Also, which amp will be used to power them?
With that power which Kenwood lists as 40 watts RMS per channel and the speakers, you may not need to block the bass. However, you can test any time you want. It appears that amp has a filter that can be used to block bass from the speakers. You don't need a bass blocker as the amp already has a way to block it based on information we found on it.
Hey guys please help me, I have 6 pioneer TS-G1620F speakers and two 1000W subwoofers on a bus. All of these connected to 400W pioneer amplifier. And I think i might need bass blockers can U help me which transistor should I buy?
I am running 2 cvr 12 kickers wired down to a 1 ohm, in a q bomb pro box, I just installed 6.5 c5 kicker door speakers all around. How do I block the bass from going to the door speakers and only into the subs itself, do I need the capacitor shown in the video on each positive side of the speaker? Will it take away from anything of the door speakers when installed?
Do you have an after market radio or amp you're using for power? If so, what is the power rating output per channel? Does the radio or amp have a built-in crossover or EQ?

Hi, question, I am using Pioneer TS-H1703 composet speakers in the front and Pioneer TS-1356II (coaxial) speakers in the back, all powered by the default factory radio. Now I want to add a subwoofer. What bassblocker do you recommend, I guess I need one bassblocker per speaker? And final question, the speakers themselves already have inline capacitors for their tweeters, can bassblockers 'stack' with them? (without negative outcome)
You will need one bass blocker per speaker. We sell them in pairs. We didn't carry those speaker models but based on what we found online about them, the TS-H1703 should use these: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_007BB150/item.html and the TS-1356II match well to these bass blockers: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_007BB300/item.html
this is a shot in the dark, but I installed two Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx speakers in my front dashboard of my 2007 chrysler 300 and I wasn't supplied with bass blockers from the manufacturer. would you know what bass blocker would work best with these speakers, so I no longer need to worry about distortion?
The Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx speakers should have come with two 270 microfarad capacitors that are enough to protect them it in any vehicle. We recommend installing them. If they are not available, then these blockers will also protect the Infinity speakers from playing frequencies they should not: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_007BB300/item.html If you use the ones listed below instead of that set above, then your speakers will be playing the frequencies it can play with the least amount of distortion possible: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc227/p_007BB600/item.html
It seems likely that either it is faulty bass blocker or perhaps the connections came undone. If you've double checked the connections and still hear nothing, you may want to speak with technical support. We include the toll free phone number to our technical support on the order invoice just in case their help is needed.
That size speaker is typically not good at producing bass. The best recommendation would be to use bass blockers on all the speakers and install a subwoofer system to produce the bass.
You should have zoomed in the camera especially when you were explaining how to connect wires to capacitor....video is taken from too far..makes it hard to see what you are showing

Just upgraded the ram 1500 dash speakers to kicker DSC350 3.5's 2 ways . Which crutchfield inline bass blocker is recommended ??thanks
These would cut the frequency off at 150 Hz: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc174/p_007BB150/Crutchfield-Bass-Blockers-150-Hz-cut-off.html
if you connect the tweeter to a crossover do you still to have a filter in the tweeter?
If your tweeters came with an included crossover and that crossover is connected, you do not need to add an additional filter.
