Regarding car audio, a key component of any good quality audio system is the subwoofer, which can enhance the musical experience with accurate low-frequency reproduction. Whether you are cruising around the city or heading out on an adventure, with the right subwoofer for your car, your music will go from meh to amazing because of that deep, punchy bass you're craving.
Sparked Innovations has some of the best premium audio components for DIYers, car audio addicts, and professionals alike. The right subwoofer makes all the difference when upgrading your sound system, and we’ll show you why.
The Importance of a Subwoofer for Your Car Audio
Most factory speakers are well-known for lacking the ability to reproduce deep bass, so your music sounds flat/thin. A subwoofer is designed for low-frequency reproduction, delivering deep, powerful bass that rounds out your setup. Furthermore, it provides that low-end extension you can feel when listening to your favorite tunes. Adding a subwoofer is about more than just loudness; it's about accuracy and fullness; it's about having a properly balanced system and hearing music the way it was intended to be heard.
Advantages of Having a Subwoofer for Your Car
-
Continuous Clarity and Range: With bass being handled by your subwoofers, your door speakers can concentrate purely on mids and highs. This reduces distortion and gives your entire system more clarity and range.
-
Richer Bass: Enjoy deep, booming bass and low-end extension between the audible frequency range of 20Hz ~ 80Hz and even subsonic!
-
Personalized Configurations: If it is quick, punchy beats you want or deep, powerful lows, there is a subwoofer for your acoustic and power-handling needs..
Subwoofer Selection Guide
Not all subwoofers are made the same. Take these considerations with you while browsing our selection at Sparked Innovations:
-
Size: Though not always the case, 10inch subwoofers can produce clear and punchy bass due to less moving mass, plus, they’re great for tighter areas. 18-inch versions have that extra cone area for greater SPL potential and air movement.
-
Power Rating (RMS): Your sub needs to match its power output with your amplifier to keep voice coil temperatures within spec and ensure a clean signal amplification with no added distortion.
-
Type of Enclosure: Sealed boxes generally reproduce tighter bass than a ported box, which is still accurate but louder and perhaps not as tight.
-
Size Options: There are space-saving, under-seat units and full-size enclosures for bigger builds. Check with the enclosure recommendations from your sub’s manufacturer or enter the T/S Parameters into an enclosure design software program to find where to start.
Get the Most Out Of Your Sub Using These Tips
Whether you're installing DIY or hiring a pro, these product-specific tips help maximize your subwoofer's output:
Invest in a good amplifier: Unlike factory speakers, subwoofers can’t be powered with a factory head unit. They operate best when fed by a dedicated amplifier that caters to their power needs.
Use sound-dampening material: This will eliminate unwanted vibrations and rattling and keep your bass clean.
Ensure compatibility: Audio system components like a sub, amp, and wiring should be appropriately matched to each component’s power requirements to avoid efficiency problems.
Use a crossover for proper frequency distribution: Adjust your crossover and EQ settings so that your subwoofer reproduces clean, undistorted bass and is well balanced with the rest of your system.
