Subwoofers


3. Subwoofer

This is the good part of the install :slayer: . You might think you don't want a load of bass, or to appear like a chav booming down the street, but once you've had a sub, you'll never go back. It gives depth and feel to the music. What size sub depends on what you'd like. Generally, smaller subs (10" and less) are for sound quality, bigger (12" and above) are for boom. 95% of subs are designed to be used inside a box, the 2 most popular types are sealed and ported. Again, generally a sealed box is for SQ, ported for boom. The bigger the sub, the bigger the box needed, so take this into consideration. As with the speakers, match the RMS of the sub to the RMS of the amplifier.
