The watt rating is a rough guide to how loud a subwoofer might be able to play, but it doesn't have to be louder. You always control the volume. In fact, a 1,000-watt sub may sound better at "regular" room volumes than a 100-watt sub. Though quite common, 100-watts really isn't that much when we're talking subs.Mar 13, 2013

What is a good wattage for a subwoofer?

The best wattage for a small-room subwoofer is between 100 and 300 watts. Most homeowners find 100 watts sufficient enough. A subwoofer for larger rooms can be 400 watts or 600 watts. For high-end subwoofers, the standard is over 1000 watts.

Is a higher wattage subwoofer better?

The power is determined by the wattage of the subwoofer in question, where a higher wattage demonstrates a more powerful subwoofer.

Will more watts give more bass?

Not necessarily. A lot of power is required to reproduce bass at the same volume as midrange instrument, but power alone does not mean more bass. Properly designed speakers are also required, and the source of the bass signal has to be able to generate low frequency clearly & cleanly.

Is 200 watts enough for bass?

For home use, go with a bass amp in the 150-200 watt range. They have the power and headroom to sound good and have more and better features than smaller bass amps. As a bonus, these amps also have the power for playing in a low-volume group if the opportunity presents itself.

Is 1000 watt subwoofer good?

A 1,000-watt subwoofer doesn't have to play any louder than a 100-watt subwoofer. The watt rating is a rough guide to how loud a subwoofer might be able to play, but it doesn't have to be louder. You always control the volume. In fact, a 1,000-watt sub may sound better at "regular" room volumes than a 100-watt sub.

Does higher speaker wattage mean louder?

Yes, it's true that the higher the power (watts), the louder and cleaner the speakers will play. Small differences in power, however, don't make much of an audible change. In order to perceptively hear a difference (a 3dB increase), the power would have to double.

Does more watts mean louder?

When it comes to "volume," many musicians only consider the amplifier's power or wattage rating, and in general, more watts does mean "louder." But while wattage is an important consideration, the efficiency of the speaker(s) that are connected to the amplifier are also an important factor in the loudness equation.

Is a 500 watt speaker good?

It is not safe to say a 500- watt speaker will be louder than a 200 watt speaker. You have to keep in mind that if you double the power, you only get 3dB more volume, which is all other things being equal, in the grand scheme of things.
