I just want to ad a simple filter to a pair of small mid-bass speakers. These are in the rear doors of my truck. The rear seats stay folded down basically covering the speakers so all I want back there is bass. The speakers are 4 ohm 6.5" drivers rated at 50Hz-5kHz. These are drivers only with no built-in tweeters.
I would like to just cut out the highs to these speakers anywhere from 1-5kHz. I can only find select components at my local electronics store so not sure which way to go. What I bought was a choke rated at .68mH. This could be used for a simple first order filter by what I can figure should cut out about 1kHz and up.
Or, I can use a 10uF capacitor with a .33mH choke for a simple second order filter. What I can figure is I needed a 9.95uF cap with a .636mH choke. Will the 10uF/.33mH be close enough? If I use this should I swap the +/- wires for correct polarization?
Also, the capacitors are non-polarized and the chokes are RF Filters. Are these the correct parts?
Which way should I go, the first order or second order filter? Thanks for all help!
