How To Install A Capacitor As A Crossover

  • This video shows you a very easy and inexpensive way to install a capacitor as a crossover. These capacitors eliminate unwanted bass to your high and mid range speakers. This helps from blowing your speakers and also it makes your speaker system sound better.

      6.8 mf cap is best for med drivers in 3-way speakers (that have a woofer, a med driver and a tweeter). 6.8 mf caps are just about what all 3-way speakers have on the med driver. They make such a sharp and snappy voice sound. If it's a 2 way speaker (with just a woofer and a tweeter) don't put a cap on your woofer. Only on a med driver that runs with a woofer (like in the 3-way speakers).

    In this video you show how to remove the base by installing a capacitor in the positive terminal. What is you didn't want to remove the bass, but instead wanted to keep it and remove all the mid range and highs from the audio signal? What would you do to it then?

      No, NEVER do that! Your cap will be a dead short in the higher frequencies and might blow up or damage the amp. Only a coil is a low pass filter. If you use a coil, you can combine it with a well calculated parallel capacitor to the woofer to make the coil's filtering slope more steep (-12db instead of -6db/oct).

    I wonder what capacitor works for what frequency cutoff?
    I remember using caps on bass guitar pickups, and 4,7uF gives a nice warm tone.
    On car tweeters, it would be nice to install a cap that cuts frequencies below 2,3, or 4kHz.

      capacitor to the woofer
      this will remove all higher frequencies except for bass
      and the voltage of the capacitor should be higher than your amp output
      usually 250v-300v will work fine

      @Justwantahover 4 роки тому

      A bit late to respond (just saw your comment). If you have 2-way or 3-way speakers (and want more high frequency) put a 0.33 uf inductor in series with a 2 ohm resistor on the + terminal of the woofer. Do it even if your speaker have a crossover, and it won't change the speakers much, just more highs (at the expense of about 1db less sensitivity). Not even noticeable, you only turn it up like less than one click to get the same volume. But the highs are still the original volume so now the highs are stronger. You may be able to just use the 2 ohm resistor, but if it sounds cold, use the inductor as it will warm up the sound (and still have more highs).

    It's not "uF", it's micro farad. "μ" is not the same "u", it is the Greek letter mu which denotes micro. The "F" stands for farad, which is a unit of capacitance. You should learn the proper terminology. Work on it.
