    Inline high pass filter that reduces bass and sound quality.

    It looks like a cap in heat shrink.

    And I'm guessing it's a 130uf electrolytic.

    Bass Blockers are typically used in car audio applications where small speakers are being powered from a full range amplifier. Bass Blockers significantly reduce audible distortion and speaker damage caused by excessive bass. They are especially useful with small diameter speakers and tweeters such as those located in the passenger door and dash of an automobile. By smoothly attenuating low audio frequencies, Base Blockers allow the full potential of an audio system to be realized.
