In-Line LFE Filter

does anyone know where I can pick up an inline LFE filter? Currently I'm driving my speakers straight off the head unit and when I crank up really bassy songs there is a noticable degredation in quality. Obviously I want a solution that will not compromise any quality.

I'm just worried about the in dash speakers right now (Boston Acoustics 746's ran with XLN monster cable directly soldered). They need to be cut-off at about 80hz.

make your own and save a ton of money

for what you're doing, stay with a 1st order, and C1 (capacitor) is what you'll be looking for. you don't need to be exact, get the closest thing you can to the number provided

(example: 4ohm speaker, 80hz cutoff. you'll want a 496.88 uF cap, but 500 uf is much easier to find).
