You know, I don't know what on earth I was thinking - you are totally correct. My bad!

Anyway, aside from active filters, etc. I'm just looking for a quick and dirty way to clean up the mud and keep all the OEM stuff intact for a while. Seems like it might be easier to install the caps in the wiring harness without pulling the door panels, but I have not tried it yet.

My point on current and heat was just to say they are usually related. An amplifier gets warm when current is drawn. I am not aware of an amplifier where that is not true. I know that amplifier topology (class A, B, etc.) affects amplifier efficiency.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to put bass blockers in the wiring harness near the headunit instead of at the speakers. Maybe insert a 4 pin Molex piece.....

I agree. Most people put them near the driver so they can be soldered to the input tabs, but I don't see why you couldn't put them anywhere.
