I'm doing a Stargate restore and I found this weird coil thing wired into the sub. What is this thing? And can I remove it?

It looks like a low pass filter. Only allows low frequency (bass) signals to go the the sub.

If I remove it will the sub still work? Will it damage anything if I remove it?

Someone else also told me this thing only allows the bass tones through the sub. Is that better or worse though? If I remove it will it be ok?

If there is any chance that removing this will destroy the sun I suggest leaving it be. Sorry, couldn't resist.

You can remove it if you want. The speaker will just play full range.

LOL pinballkim!

To answer his question, no it won't hurt sub, like poster before said, if it's a low pass filter, it keeps higher range frequencies from going to sub, giving sub that deeper sound . Removing just allows higher ranges to be heard through the sub...

Thanks guys. I barely notice the sub with this hooked up. It only turns on during certain events. I think I will remove it so I notice the sub more. Thanks for the explanations.
