Protect your new car speakers from bass distortion and enjoy cleaner sound with Crutchfield's Bass Blockers. Each Bass Blocker handles up to 50 watts RMS with a 6 dB per octave roll-off. Here are some general guidelines for matching Bass Blockers to speaker size.

Speaker Size Cut-off Frequency

6-1/2", 5"x7"/6"x8" — 150 Hz

5-1/4" — 300 Hz

3-1/2", 4", 4"x6" — 600 Hz (low power)

3-1/2", 4", 4"x6" — 800 Hz (high power)

Tweeters — 5,000 Hz

These models come fitted with easy-to-use quick-slide connectors that make installation a cinch — no splicing or crimping needed.

The listed cut-off points are at 4 ohms. If you use 8-ohm speakers, the cut-off point is half the listed frequency. If you use 2-ohm speakers, the cut-off point is double the listed frequency.

Note: You can connect these Bass Blockers in either direction, as the built-in capacitors are not polarized.

Product Research

Features

Bass Blockers: Bass Blockers stop speaker distortion caused by excessive bass relative to a speaker's bass output capability. They are especially useful with small diameter speakers and tweeters.

Crossover Point: The crossover point changes based on the speaker impedance.

Model 2 ohms 4 ohms 8 ohms
007BB150 300 Hz 150 Hz 75 Hz
007BB300 600 Hz 300 Hz 150 Hz
007BB600 1,200 Hz 600 Hz 300 Hz
007BB5000 10,000 Hz 5,000 Hz 2,500 Hz

Easy Installation: To install the Bass Blockers, slip the female connectors of the bass blocker onto the positive and negative speaker terminals of the new speaker, and plug the male connectors into the speaker wiring adapter harness' positive and negative leads. If you don't want to use the terminals, cut them off, cut the speaker lead at a convenient location close to the speaker, then splice the Bass Blocker into the positive and negative speaker leads and insulate the connections. 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.

Q
I'm looking to install a pair of infinity reference 3032-cfx on my dashboard. If I don`t want to make my own bass blocker from the capacitor that comes with my 3032-cfx purchase, would this 150 hz ready-to-use bass blocker be a suitable replacement? Also, would it be as simple as connecting the metra speaker wiring harness (positive side) to the 150 hz bass blocker, and to plug it into the 3032-cfx speaker (positive side)?
felix  Jan 11, 2024
1 answer
A
These bass blockers could be used with the REF-3032cfx as a suitable and easier-to-use stand-in for the included capacitors. The quick slide connectors on either end of the bass blockers should make it easy to use with the REF-3032cfx and a set of factory speaker harness adapters.

Yes you can use those Bass Blockers on those Pioneers. We do have ones that have a higher frequency cut off if you wanted to use those dash speakers for true tweeters. If you wanted to keep more midrange them in them then the 150Hz is a good option. We have experts available at 800.324.9695 so please give us a call and we can discuss the various options available.

Would this work for 80 peak watt tweeter?
alexis  Jan 12, 2023
1 answer
A
Greetings Alexis, and thank you for your question. The cut off frequency of these bass blockers are not enough to run to any tweeters. Everything above 150 HZ will pass thru these. Those frequencies will kill most tweeters. You might want to either get tweeters with their own built in filters/crossovers, or at the very least cut off the low end at 5000 hz.

I am replacing my Magnadyne LS1 tweeters with Rockford Fosgate R1T-S tweeters. The Magnadyne speakers had a MKT 5.6 microfarad, 100v capacitor inline. What Base blocker should I use for the Rockford Fosgate speakers?

The Rockford Fosgate R1T-S tweeters have that crossover actually built into the tweeter, Tad! Just connect these with no external bass blocker and they will sound great.

Q
What kind of bass blocker do I need for 75 rms on midrange speakers. No subwoofer with system just the midrange speakers frequency 125HZ-12KHZ?
jemduke  Nov 15, 2021
3 answers
A
When you have a frequency range you would need to use a band pass crossover. I would probably try a 150hz base blocker as there have a roll off of 6dB and should give you the 125Hz.
jason  Nov 22, 2021
A
The RMS of the speakers doesn't matter. Usually with no subwoofer there is no reason to use bass blockers. Bass blockers are usually used to block bass frequencies from your midrange speakers, because the subwoofer would handle those frequencies instead. Another reason to use bass blockers is if the bass frequencies cause your speakers to distort at a volume level lower than your preferred listening volume. What frequency of bass blocker you use depends on what frequencies are causing your speakers trouble, and also your own preference. If your speakers are advertised with a frequency response of 125hz-12khz, then bass blocker at a frequency of 125hz may be suitable. I suggest you contact a Crutchfield representative, their always happy to help with product advice :)

Q
I have a pair of Sony Sscs5 6ohm bookshelves that I want to take the lowest frequencies out of without too much trouble. The only specs listed are for 2-4-8 ohms. Would 6ohms be high passed at around 112Hz? Right in between the 4 and 8?
greg  Jun 01, 2021
1 answer
A
These have not been tested with a 6 ohm load to confirm the frequency cutoff that they will present. Based on the data we do know, I expect you are correct about the frequency they start blocking the audio. These only handle up to 50 watts RMS and you will want to check your receiver to make sure it does not exceed this RMS rating

Does this work with a 6 ohm JBL home surround sound set up? I have Onkyo receiver running 110w per channel for JBL Stage A125C with A120, JVC surrounds, paired with Polk PSW10 sub. If possible, thinking I'd bass block everything but the sub. Thoughts?
jason  Mar 07, 2021
2 answers
A
I'm not a 100% certain how well these would work at a 6ohm load as they are meant for a 4ohm car speaker. The bigger concern I would have is cutting the frequency off the high on the spectrum. You will likely lose midbass going that high and subwoofers tend to not reproduce the upper bass or snappier bass as well as well as a 6" or 8" driver does. I would recommend something at lower frequency cutoff of around 60-80hz. Hope that helps. Also depending on how advanced of a receiver you are using it may have an active crossover built in.
david  Mar 07, 2021

If this is the same product as I ordered, no . 4ohm only.

monty  Nov 18, 2020
A
In my opinion these would probably be a little to high of a cutoff point for 6x8's. I have mine on a set of 4" coaxials in my kick panels. I would recommend something with a lower cutoff frequency. They do work great for my application.

I've been led to believe that the Volvo XC90 uses 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel, such that the amp 'sees' a 4 ohm system. In this configuration, is the bass blocker cutoff at the listed frequency, or half the listed frequency?

kristina  Jun 09, 2020 (Staff)
A
The formula is f = 1 / (2*pi*R*C(in Farads)). If the load impedance is halved, the crossover frequency is doubled. However, most car speakers are rated 4 ohms, so if the capacitor is specified for a 4 ohm speaker, you will get 150Hz.

These are not recommended for use with home speakers.
thomas  Jan 08, 2020 (Staff)
A
Yes, but only if the impedance of the home speaker is 4 ohm. If you connect these to am 8 ohm speaker, the frequency where the bass block begins is doubled, so you'll miss out on midbass. Google "high pass crossover table" for a more detailed discussion.

Maybe go higher than the 150's. I bought 2 pair however, after I put them in my front 6.5's I noticed that they didn't have any real effect so I never installed them in the rear.

Can I install these on 3 way kicker 6x9's?
aaron  Apr 03, 2018
4 answers
A
You can, but the 6x9s should be able to handle bass down to 60hz or so. I wouldn't use bass blockers on those unless you have something else to handle the lower frequencies. I use these on my dash speakers (3.5 inch) and let my 6x9s in the rear handle the bass.
jeffery d.  Apr 04, 2018
A
yes you can install them inline with a 3 way 6x9. However, if you do this, you will be limiting the performance of the mid and low range portion of the speaker. In most speaker set ups the bass blocker is used only in line with the tweeter, to limit the low range frequency from blowing the tweeter. Most Speakers designed for multiple ranges have individual limits in place for each of the ranges they cover. My suggestion would be to look at the specifications of the speakers you are looking at purchasing. Find out if they have built in limiters. If not, consider running a two way mid and low with a satellite tweeter.
mark  Apr 03, 2018
A
Yes. But you wouldn't want to. It'll block all your bass and a lot of the midrange. I installed these on some little 3 inch full range dash speakers to get rid of the bass and such. They act like a kinda upper mid to high tweeter. With that being said. No, don't install them on 3 way speakers. Unless you wanna take 70% of your speakers capability away.

It would be recommended to use a different speaker-level signal to your aftermarket sub/amp than the speakers you have connected to bass blockers. For more details or to discuss further, please contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat. Thanks!

Yes, if your dash and door speakers don't have a crossover. I used factory wiring so my dash speakers were getting the same signal as my door speakers. Installing the 150hz blockers made a positive difference in qualit of sound. I'm very glad I took this step.

jonte  Jan 17, 2018

I don't think they are designed for use with a "line level" signal, They will cut the low end "< 150Hz" to an amplified signal. I use them to protect my smaller dash speakers from frequencies below their ability.
brian  Jan 23, 2018
A
you could but they block the bass frequency, so if you are hooked up to subwoofer then you will only get the high frequencies. not what you want for a sub.
brian  Jan 22, 2018
A
I can't see why not but why would you want to block low frequencies to a speaker designed for low frequencies? Btw, crutchfield has excellent support, give them a call and they'll get you set up right.
phillip  Jan 22, 2018
A
You can use these with any signal. However, be cautious to the speaker you are directing them to as they will affect the output. For example a 150hz bass blocker on a subwoofer would be pointless. But, if you use it for a 6.5" coaxial it would make sense. The point is to minimize low frequency extremes on smaller speakers to maximize output.
rodrigo  Jan 22, 2018

brett  Nov 23, 2022

A
The stock amp has separate amp channels powering the speakers in the 2005 Chevy Corvette Bose sound system. The stock amp should already be filtering the audio and we do not expect these to be needed in this application.

Q
Looking at the JBL club 322 3.5" , what size of these bass blockers do I need to protect them from blowing on same frequency as front doors? Not using an amp at first but may get a smaller one later.
ray  Jul 17, 2022
1 answer
A
If you are looking to protect the smaller JBL's and are planning on banging on the volume knob, the Bass Blocker is absolutely needed Ray. These 300hz cutoff versions would be a great solution now AND later when you add the amp. I would not use an amp that exceeds the 45-50 watt RMS number, staying under that this blocker should work well! The JBL's come onboard around the 90hz mark so you could even use the 150hz blocker in the link below now on radio power, but that won't provide the same protection when you add the amp. Either one you choose, it's going to keep distortion out of the JBL's and sound great Ray! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_007BB150/Crutchfield-Bass-Blockers-150-Hz-cut-off.html?tp=3216

christopher  Nov 23, 2019
1 answer
A
These bass blockers should only be connected to your door speakers. They are not appropriate for protecting your tweeters from low frequencies. If your tweeters are factory equipment they should already have a passive crossover in place, so you only need the one set of bass blockers. If you have aftermarket tweeters you should use the supplied crossovers that came with the aftermarket tweeters and connect them to the door speakers.

Greetings Jeffery. thank you for your question. Technically the frequency range of the X2C speakers are 800-20,000 Hz. You really would not need any bass blocker because the X2C speakers already come with their in line filter blocking out at 800 Hz.

Greetings Albert, and thank you for your question. The white wire goes through the bass blocker, the black wire just passes through and can either be used to connect the negative wire to on both sides, or can be ignored, only the positive (white wire) needs to be connected.
