Depends a bit on your situation. If you want to build it into your power amp, you can probably get by just be changing a capacitor.
Also important is what you feed it with - the output impedance of your source can have influence on the cut frequency.
How steep do you want it to be - come to think of it, why do you want it; what's the problem you are trying to solve?

i had setup a custom 5.1 channel surround amplifier system
the filter i need is for 5 surround channel amplifier using tda2030a 12v dual supply (left,right,rear left,rear right and center channel) 3inch 4 ohms 10 watts speakers as load
input source is from pc sound card
i want to build it into my power amp actualy a passive filter at input of amplifier which cuts or bypasses low frequencies (below 200 or 250 hertz)
input signal coupling capacitor used for amplifiers is 2.2 mfd electrolyte capacitor
low frequencies causes distortion in my speakers

Do you know the input resistance of your amp? Then you could just replace the 2.2uF (I assume it is uF not mF) and do it that way.
Example: 10k input R, C=1/(2*pi*200Hz*10k) ~ 1/12 uF, or, say, 75nF.
But you'd lose a lot of LF information; maybe the speakers distort because they are not suited to full range? A 3inch that is supposed to go all the way down is probably not a good choice here.

No problem if you want to build a passive one but I think active is usually better if it can be used (i.e. the signal is low-level / low-power). It can be made steeper and of lighter and cheaper components. I have designed one high-pass filter using this project as a basis. I simulated it but haven't yet tested though
