CAR AUDIO, In line equalizer?

[FrigidNinja]

So i just installed a cheap radio and some cheap subs in my ceap car (seeing a theme?) and i realized that the mid bass was feeding to both the terrible stock speakers and my sub-woofers. is there such thing as an in line equalizer, that cuts out the mid bass and allows the stock speakers to shine with just mids and highs?

 

thanks everybody!

Usually the radio has an EQ and some of them have one that you can customize.

I know mine has a couple of presets and 2 custom presets you can adjust as much as you want.

Soo if you radio doesn't have it, then that's what you get for getting a crappy radio

You would want a Cross Over.

Put a 270uF bipolar capacitor (25V+ rated) in serie with the midspeaker wiring. 

This will form a so called 1st order RC high pass filter at 150Hz.

Since it's a cheap install you could just go with a simple electrolytic type.

If you want to get fancy you can bypass (put in parallel) it with a small poly capacitor.

 

Even better would be to find the highpass setting on your radio (if it has one), and apply highpass on the midbass channels
