Jun 3, 2001 12:28 PM | | Anyone familiar with auto stereo/speakers ? I just replaced stock Jeep speakers with Pioneer co-ax's. Also installed bass blockers(under advise of salesman). The Pioneers are certainly more detailed but lack the bass of stock paper speakers !! Do bass blockers eliminate too muchbass ? Any input appreciated. |

It really depends on the size of speakers you replaced. If they were 5.5" or larger and you are running them off a factory deck then they probably do not need caps. if they are 3.5" or 4.5" yes I would cap them at about 200 to 400hz. Especially if used with an external amp or after market deck wich can supply more power. |

Jun 3, 2001 2:31 PM | | Hi S.S. - The Pioneers are 5.25" co-ax rear and 4x6" co-ax fronts. The caps are 400hz rear and 200hz front. I am using the factory cd deck. I was just kinda surprised as to how little bass was put out from these speakers compared to the factory paper cone speakers. Would removing the rear 400hz cap make a noticable improvement in bass ? Not too concerned about the fronts. Thanks for any input. |

Jun 3, 2001 3:33 PM | | If you are running them off of the factory head unit, I would recommend taking them off and listening to them. It will make a difference in the bass. If the bass is then not driven to distortion from your head unit, leave them off. Basically, taking them off will make a difference in the bass department. Take care! |

Jun 3, 2001 6:52 PM | | I'm going to be putting some Infinity's in my YJ (wrangler) and I have gotten conflicting opinions on how to do it. Some say I will have to remove my hard top and fold the windshield to remove the dash. If you had a YJ did they do that? |
