Bandpassing the Midrange
•The Fanatic Component Systems are optimized for full range music reproduc- tion. In cases where a subwoofer is used, the midrange can be bandpassed in order to prevent overlapping frequencies from the midrange into the subwoofer.
1.Determine the frequency range that the subwoofer will play (i.e.:
2.Use the
3.Select the appropriate capacitor value (i.e.: 500μF) to properly bandpass the midrange
4.Place the capacitor in series with the “+” terminal of the speaker
