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.: 20Hz-80Hz)
2.Use the low-pass crossover frequency of the subwoofer system (i.e.: 80Hz) as
the high-pass crossover frequency for the midrange
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
