Basics Of Car Subwoofers

By Danny Thomas


Typical car audio systems have small speakers with limited ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Cheap subwoofers can add more depth to a car audio system by reproducing frequencies below 150 hertz. A subwoofer can add strong and powerful basses to your car audio and will also make it more enjoyable.

Almost all car stereo subs are placed in the trunk because of room constraints in the cabin of the vehicle. Subwoofers are often ten inches or twelve inches across though they could be as large as thirty four inches and as tiny as four inches.

Larger bass speakers enable more potent air displacement that is crucial for lower wavelengths.

The amplifier for car audio subwoofers can be integrated into the cabinet or installed as a separate unit. The amplifier should have an electronic crossover to filter out high-frequency sounds before the signal is passed to the subwoofer.

Even though car stereo subs are generally rounded in form, lately companies happen to be launching bass speakers in unique designs. These modern variations could be simpler to set up in vehicles with small space, however, there is no acoustical benefit to nonround forms.

You will find many pre-made enclosures for vehicle audio subs available on the market. Alternatively, you could have one custom-made or build one yourself. Whenever you purchase a subwoofer driver, you can expect to get a spec sheet which provides you recommendations for enclosure needs. Also browse the spec sheets for energy needs and linear response - a set response can give the strict seem.

Also make sure to not overpower or under energy a subwoofer. Whether it's ranked for 300 w RMS, provide 200 to 300 w of continuous energy. As near to it's RMS rating as you possibly can is better.
