BASS BOOST

earl Silver Member Username: Howtoeatapencil Post Number: 163 Registered: Mar-08	Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 - 07:36 GMT My HU has -12 to +12 dB bass boost centered at 100hz My amp has 0 to 18 dB bass boost at 45hz 4" coaxial in the front doors 6.5" coaxial in the rear deck Im currently using capacitors on my coaxials for high pass filters. I have 3 pairs 100hz 400hz 600hz i can combined them to make other things, bit those are the base three capacitors i have. What would u block where? and what would u boost where?

(don't know much myself about caps/bass blockers, but just keep it simple).

I personally never have mine on. Ive seen people use them very low to just get a little more bass but i wouldnt do it.
