Im planning on putting tweeters in my truck and wiring them in with my dash speakers. Will a 25v 4.7 mf non polar one work good with blocking out the bass to the tweeters? I saved them from a set of vintage bookshelf speakers i scrapped.
depends on what freq you want to cut off at here is calculator www.diyaudioandvideo.com/Calculator/SpeakerCrossover/ you enter resistance on both speakers and simplest 1st order butterworth crossover design which consists of a cap for tweeter and inductor (coil) for subwoofer ps most speakers cut off at like 4500Hz or 5000Hz but really depends on how u like it
I bought the infinity kappa 60csx kit and it came with tweeters. I want to make my own bass blocker because I need it to fit in a small space. What size capacitor do I need. I believe I need something 7000 hz
@@technoboy-allinOne oh ok, thanks. i was just thinking if it is possible to blow it at about 50watts and i have to know how much it can take or, how you said, it doesnt matter that much
Hi, i noticed that you connected it on the positive pole, i have been taught that i must connect it on the negative of the speaker, I have been doing so for years and it works exactly the same... But my question is, what is the difference actually?
So would a fried capacitor for a tweeter prevent it from working at all? I have a speaker being worked on. Guy said capacitor is fried and wants to replace capacitor rather than use a replacement tweeter that works that I provided to him. I feel very suspicious about it. What say ye?
A crossover is made for highs as well as lows too. Crossover uses a coil for woofer to reduce the highs.and use same caps for tweeter. And some crossover has mids too. But normally a caps can be used to cut off the bass for tweeter. For example many sony music system uses only a capacitor like this for tweeter. They dont use crossover.
Hi i have a i- Cooper tweeters model i-257 and 20mm silk dome tweeter, 60wrms, 20mm 4ohm kapton voice coil, spl 93db M/W, frequency 60hz- 23000 hz.. seller told .e to add 3.3uf of 100volt or 2x10uf of 50 volt capacitor in each tweeter negative terminal. Can you plz help me in this??
Go with 4.7uf or 3.3uf... and voltage doesnt matter here. The uf= microfarad block the bass. Voltage does nothing here whether its 63v or 100v. And connect to the positive terminal of the tweeters.
All branded speakers are 6ohms, like yamaha,pioneer etc. If you wanna use a 4ohms speakers with 6ohms amp then you can use a cement resistance of 2 ohms. If your amp has 6ohms output. Then you can use 8 ohms speakers too. The speakers impedence must be the same with the amp or higher to keep your amp safe. There you can connect 2 no of 4ohms speakers serially, then they will make 8 ohms.
Good day, I have a 3.3 uf 100v and a 2.2uf 100v. Can you tell what is the difference in sound between the two if i connect it to my 100w 8ohms tweeter? Does 3.3 uf is louder?
3.3uf will have a lower frequency cut off i.e for example if 2.2uf gives ~4khz and above,then 3.3uf will give ~2.5khz and above.which tweeter u want to use?
super "trick" to balance cheap active pc-speakers with subwoofer. usually the bass is way to loud for this combinations. well done, sir. post scriptum (03.12.2019): sir, can i use normal capacitors (with + and -) or only bipolar? the electro-store near me, told me today not to use polarized (+ to + and - to -) but bipolar (no matter how i connect them) capacitors for my purpouse. i want to kill some 50% of the bass from the logitech z313 "subwoofer". thank you for answer ...
The amp uses Alternating current to drive speakers in and out that's not true of all amps but that's why you use bipolar capacitors. There more money then regular ones. You can use two non bipolar just connect the - together and the + to your - & + wires then to your speakers
could you help me out with right capacitor for tweeter?! I have scanspeak tweeters R1904/613001 and i use them in 3 way active system with DSP ,but i want to conect capacitor for safety ,what kind of capacitor i need? how much wats and uF do i need?
a 5.6 microfarad capasitor is suggested for that speaker www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/auto-tweeters/scanspeak-discovery-car-r1904/613001-autosound-tweeter-one-each/ Im also thinking of using DSP. What kind of dsp do you use?
Nice video..nice explanation..in addition to this, could you kindly tell us a single way to build a passive low pass filter for a subwoofer.. Thanks in advance..
For that you mainly need a heavy choke coil. But the desire frequency depends on the number of turn of the coil. But for better result you must use an active low pass filter. For a subwoofer passive low pass filter is not at all a good option. And also the copper coil price would be much more then an active low pass filter.
the bad is polarized electrolytic, the medium is bipolarized electrolytic (gets job done) the good or best is polypropylene (film capacitors) codes MKP for low esr (capacitor resistance) and better quality
voltage doesnt matter here. 3.3 mfd would work as bass blocker but in different frequencies. you can check if the sound satisfy your ears you can use it.
@@technoboy-allinOne wooow... Thank you very much for helping me and for a fast reply also. The thing is that I'm having a small problem with my 2 way speakers in the car beacuse they push to much bass and that really ruins their clear sound. I'll put 500w subwoffer in the trunk but the thing is that if I cut off bass on the stereo it will affect the woofer and this is the perfect solution, everybody doing their job and playing like they should. Thank you once again. :)
If you 12" is higher resistance than your tweeter and you protect your tweeter with a capasitor, then only the base will go in your 12", since the high frequency will go through the lower impedance tweeter. In mye eays this is a perfect crossover without the distorting coils.
Hi, i noticed that you connected it on the positive pole, i have been taught that i must connect it on the negative of the speaker, I have been doing so for years and it works exactly the same... But my question is, what is the difference actually?
There is none, I have seen OEM car makers do it either side of the speaker. However the capacitor should be non polarized electrolytic , otherwise if you reverse polarity it can destroy the capacitor.
Good video by using the white foam bits of before and after. 💯👍🏼
Well explained. Every one can understand from your explanations.
My brother, what capacitor can I used on a 260watts tweeters frequency is 3500-23000hz and I'm connecting it to a 2000 watt dc audio amplifier.
Convert 260 watts to volts and the volts you get thats how much volts the capacitor should be and i don't think you can get 3500-23000hz exacly
Im planning on putting tweeters in my truck and wiring them in with my dash speakers. Will a 25v 4.7 mf non polar one work good with blocking out the bass to the tweeters? I saved them from a set of vintage bookshelf speakers i scrapped.
Yeah that would work 👍
Without getting too technical, what is a good "size" capacitor to use on a 2 inch speaker (not a tweeter)

is it possible to put too much power into the capacitor? if yes, how do i know if mine wont blow?
Too much means? How much?? Not sure. But you can easily give it 300 to 400 watt

There is no difference.
No DC current or voltage was expected across a speaker, so no difference.
I noticed you're using a polarized cap, it doesnt matter? I thought they had to be non-polarized
No. You can use that
So would a fried capacitor for a tweeter prevent it from working at all? I have a speaker being worked on. Guy said capacitor is fried and wants to replace capacitor rather than use a replacement tweeter that works that I provided to him. I feel very suspicious about it. What say ye?
If the capacitor is blown then the twiteer wouldnt make any noise
@@technoboy-allinOne it didn't
Capacitor was replaced and works great now.
how to block Treble and use base only
You can use a good quality choke coil. That will reduce the treble.. or you can use a low pass filter for only bass.
So, why do we need crossovers if a capacitor can do the job?
A crossover is made for highs as well as lows too. Crossover uses a coil for woofer to reduce the highs.and use same caps for tweeter. And some crossover has mids too. But normally a caps can be used to cut off the bass for tweeter. For example many sony music system uses only a capacitor like this for tweeter. They dont use crossover.

Do all bass blockers (capacitors) brands are the same or different brand can do better @ blocking the bass from the tweeters??
In this case Brand doesnt matter. All are same. Only Value matters.

What type of blocker would I need for 75 watts Rms help please !
The same will work for your speaker.
Suggest a capacitor to reduce Bass for Subwoofer, bcoz Subwoofer distorts on high volume..
Thats not really possible. Check the amp first. And you can use a cement resistor to the subwoofer.

so how do you determine what capacitor size you need to tweeters, mid range and bass?
trial and error, smart to use a system with lower impedance tweeter
What can I take or find these caps at? Like old TV or DVD player
Maybe in audio section of old tv or dvd player, not sure. Better buy new ones
is bad or good with capacitor ?
Berjon Ibro its for high frequency only. No bass. So its very good for highs like tweeters
the bad is polarized electrolytic, the medium is bipolarized electrolytic (gets job done) the good or best is polypropylene (film capacitors) codes MKP for low esr (capacitor resistance) and better quality
great video man.
may i ask something? what is the name of the song that you played?
can i use 50v 4.5uf
Yes you can.
Well explained.
You always wanna block the busses in your stereo
how about mids blocker or hi blocker?
for that you need choke coil. check the link below

This capacitor is used to block bass. You can use the same value i showed in the video
You could use 2.2uf 4.7uf anywhere around these numbers within reason you can buy a few different ones and see how it sounds
