Subwoofer Information

A subwoofer in your car will enhance your listening experience and adds an intensity to your music that smaller speakers just can't provide.

A subwoofers in sealed boxes tend to produce a tight bass sound. As oppose to a looser, boomier sound. It all depends on your taste of sound. If you do want that thundering sound You'll get this type of sound from a subwoofer mounted in a ported or bandpass enclosure.

There are a few ways to purchase your subwoofers.

The easiest installation is an enclosed subwoofer system. One that is ready-made. This way the speaker and enclosure for optimum performance has already been matched for you by the manufacturer. Some also are available with built-in amplifier.

You may also build your own box and buy a subwoofer driver of your choice. This way is the most difficult but can be a lot of fun. (If you like to work)

First choosing a subwoofer driver then add it to a strong, ready to mount manufactured (ported and bandpass) box. Is another option. These boxes are well-manufactured, so they hold up under the extreme pressure of vigorous bass.

However, before you buy or make your own subwoofer system, make sure that you have enough room to install in your vehicle. The last thing you want to do is buy a subwoofer system and it doesn't even fit. Measure the area you have in mind for the enclosure. Then compare it to the woofer you're planning to get. Get a complete area measurement.

Supply sufficient power to your subwoofer. You don't want a nice subwoofer to sound cheap. Subwoofer require more power that mid-range or tweeters. A sufficient amplifiers would be adequate to produce the low frequency bass that the subwoofer delivers. Each subwoofer have a recommended power range specification listed. Compare the RMS power output of the amplifier you plan to use.
