Can you use a subwoofer as a normal speaker?
Subwoofers are designed for low-frequency audio signal emissions including their structural design, included components, and available input or output ports. Subs cannot be used as speakers because they do not have the capacity to stream high-frequency audio signals required by other speakers.
Can a subwoofer be used without an amplifier?
In nearly all cases, the answer is yes. Unless you have a system in your car or boat that is already powering a subwoofer, you'll need to find an amplifier that will power your sub. Your head unit will typically provide a low-power signal (RCA output) that can be used for an amplifier to power your subwoofer.

What can you do with a subwoofer?
