Subwoofers can drastically add to the quality of the speakers’ audio. Purchasing one for your car might seem daunting because every car model is different and requires a different pair of subwoofers. Here are some important things to consider when buying brand-new car subwoofers. Audiophiles, don’t skip this section!
Power consumption is an important factor to consider if you want a car subwoofer that is worth the money. Most systems have an average consumption ranging from 150 to 1000 watts, with higher wattage translating into better sound quality. You can increase the power of car subwoofers by hooking them up to an amplifier, but speakers are often a more compact vehicle option.
Sensitivity goes hand in hand with power to achieve high output and high-quality audio. A car subwoofer with a high sensitivity rating will require less power to produce the same sound quality as a lower-sensitivity car subwoofer.
The frequency range indicates how high or low a car subwoofer can play a sound. A good-quality car subwoofer should offer a vast range of frequencies to play its audio.
Bass tubes are car subwoofers that are fully enclosed in a tube. This allows you to add bass to your audio system without taking up any extra space in your vehicle. It is a quick and easy upgrade though it does not add a lot to the audio quality.
Self-amplified car subwoofers have an amplifier installed inside the subwoofers rather than outside. It takes up less space in your vehicle for a more compact audio solution while allowing for excess bass in your car’s sound system.
Standard subwoofers are made individually without any kind of enclosure. Such car subwoofers typically generate higher-quality audio and output levels with incredible bass, but they may require you to purchase enclosures separately.
Yes, an enclosure is required for extra protection so that your subwoofer is not tossed around while driving. It also adds extra bass to your audio.
Yes, RMS wattage is much more realistic than peak wattage in a car subwoofer because a car subwoofer functions much better at RMS wattage.
In car subwoofers, size has nothing to do with the audio quality. The audio quality depends on sensitivity ratings. If a subwoofer is bigger but has low sensitivity ratings, its audio quality will be much worse than a smaller subwoofer with high sensitivity ratings.
