I have 4" Kappa's in my dash and 6.5" Kappa's in my doors. I currently have them all crossed over at 125hz.

What I am now wanting to do, is basically get rid of the 6.5" Kappa's tweeter. I have way too many highs up-front. I don't need 6 tweeters in my car. And since the dash speakers are perfectly placed, and reflect good highs off of my curved windshield, I figure it makes most sense to get rid of the tweeters in my doors.

I don't mean "get rid of" in the literal sense, but more crossover wise. Is it possible to by-crossover the speakers? So that they don't play anything below 125hz and nothing about 1000hz(or so)?

If so, do I need a seperate electronic crossover or can I just use an in-line cap?

THANKS! [img]smile.gif[/img]

if you are on a budget, yes, that would be a cheap solution, and you need a coil, ...not a cap.

I'd just cut the wire to the tweeter somewhere that would allow it to be reconnected, rather than worry about the phase shft and net impedance, blah blah...

just clip the little wire attached to the cap on the terminal. that will kill the tweet and then you'll just have a mid pretty much.
