If don't want to waste much money, use the HU to power the tweeters, is the tweeters comes with capacitors? If not, is better that you buy a pair of it to 'cut' down the bass input to the tweeters.

For the capacitor value, can try <10uf then <20uf depends on your prefrence.

i got my tweeters cum together vf capacitors oso..but the ppl install it for me tell me they dont need to be installed unless u got amp to power them up
so i jz directly connect the tweeters to the HU
if i put the caps oso will cause any prob?

Usually, get a pair of 22uf non-polarised caps, these are more expensive than electrolytic polarised caps. These caps act as a passive high pass filter which filters out low frequency sounds. Low frequency = approaching DC = bad for your tweeter. Usually cheap tweeters come with polarised caps which is not really good on audio applications.

the 1 i got is electrolytic polarised caps come together vf the tweeters. means not so good la?
but it's quite big size ler...not sure how many farad dy...
btw is 22uF the optimum for filtering the unneeded freq?

Anyway where is Jalan Pasar? I heard there got alot of gadgets selling. Polarised or not I not sure, but always go for caps with +ve and -ve with the wordings of XXufXXv. If scare the cap are too loud, can add a bulb to control the power input, rating around 1-2v.

but according to ernie ball, he recommends non-polarised caps in stead of polarised 1?but u said polarised 1 is betta?
confused

if got passive crossover then no need cap right ?
if using component set, then should be ok if plug straight to HU right ?

i think a single capacitor can be classified as a passive crossover, too as long as it is filtering the low freq part, so called high pass filter.

btw any1 can show me how the bypass capacitor looks like?
i affraid i buy sth wrong from jalan pasar. the capacitor i usually buy is for electronic circuit 1 wo... those small small 1... tongue.gif

hw am i gonna tell the shop keeper which kind of capacitor i need ? rclxub.gif
