Bass Blockers?

[Rooz]

Anyone installed any bass blockers on their speakers before? And if so, were you pleased with the result?

bass blockers? explain

When you have subs in your car, you don't really need bass from the speakers because you really don't hear the bass of the speakers anymore. Bass blockers are small things that connect to your speakers and block bass going towards them. It supposively prolonges the life of your speakers and give you a "clearer" bass

In our cars they really aren't necessary. The oem system comes with a crossover network meaning the oem speakers are already protected from being asked to reproduce any harmful frequencies. And if you upgrade your system with aftermarket speakers and an aftermarket amp, your new amp will most likely have a hi and low pass crosssover to do the same. So no, you really shouldn't need a passive crossover (bass blockers) with our cars.

Now if you had an aftermarket deck, and bypassed the oem amp, they might come in handy. Especially if you added a sub as you wouldn't be able to hear the mids distorting as easily.
