Subwoofers

Feel the Bass with a Home Theater Subwoofer

If it feels like your sound system is missing something, the powerful bass from a quality subwoofer might very well be what you need. Surround sound systems are never truly complete without one. They let you feel the deep bass of your favorite songs, the rumble of an engine or an explosion in an action movie, and even the roar of a crowd at a sporting event.

Like all speakers, subwoofers feature a cone that moves back and forth to create soundwaves. For deep bass, these waves are much larger than those generated by tweeters or even mid-range speakers. As a result, subwoofers are typically much larger than other speakers. And while 10 to 12-inch subs are probably the most common sizes, a high-quality 18-inch home theater subwoofer can take your system to a whole new level.

Just don't make the mistake of thinking that a bigger sub equates to higher sound quality. A small subwoofer for home audio setups that delivers a crisp low end will often provide a better listening experience than an oversized unit. It's also important to note that the placement of your sub can make a huge difference. Read about How to Set Up a Subwoofer in our Learning Center.
