polk speakers and bass blockers

[gamberch]

hey guys I was going to install these polk speakers on my 07 venture and I was going to put some bass blockers on them. But I am not sure which bass blockers I should put on. Can anyone one help me please. Also I know many of you put on aftermarket amps on to, which ones do you perfer and where did you install them at. Also what do you guys think of these speakers.

What does a bass blocker do? It sounds like its meant to block the bass, but why?

So that the relatively small woofer isn't trying to reproduce low level bass it is incapable of. I do recomend them. That very same speaker sounded good in my bike till I made a habit of over driving them some. Look at the low frequency spec of the speakers and chose a blocker that closely matches their spec.

I highly recommend Crutchfield as both a place to purchase audio gear and for their sound advice. (pun may or may not be intended)They will be happy to make sure you buy the right one. Just ask them. They provide a level of customer care that is second to none. And if you ever get a bad piece of gear from them you will be amazed at their customer care then. I have never actually gotten a bad piece of gear from them. I thought my amp was bad last year, but oddly enough it turned out I made a mistake.
