Component Speakers
I bought some Infinity component 5.25 speakers. I have never installed a component set, but it looks pretty straight forward. Anything I need to know?
Can anyone tell me about bass blockers? What are they? Can I make my own? Do I need them with a component set, or just for coaxials? I'm going to put some 6.5" Infinity Kappas in the rear for now.

Bass blockers can be refered to in two different ways. They're supposed to be inline passive high pass crossovers so as fequencies around 120hz or so and down dont play thru speakers. The other thing they get mixed up as is "fmods" which is an inline RCA version placed between an audio source and an amplifier. People get them mixed up all the time, and its understandable why. Check http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage....filter=stopper for a selection of very affordable bass blockers.
