When the amplifier sends audio signals to the subwoofer, electric current flows through the voice coil creating a magnetic field that pulls and pushes the voice coil against the magnetic gap. By alternating this current, the voice coil moves upward and downward to produce sound.

Do subwoofers increase bass?

Isolating your subwoofer can produce dramatic improvements in bass clarity. When the sub transfers vibrations through the floor and walls, the room itself becomes part of the low-frequency reproduction system and chances are, it's not going to do the job as well as your subwoofer on its own.

How do I get more bass out of my subwoofer?

Just follow these simple steps for great bass:

  1. Remove the distortion.
  2. Flatten the signal, open the low-pass filter.
  3. Adjust the subwoofer gain and low-pass filter.
  4. Adjust the bass boost and subsonic filter.
  5. Match the subwoofer level to the receiver volume.

How do subwoofer woofers work?

The subwoofer amplifies the current and converts it to sound through the use of a magnetic coil that causes vibration of the driver's cone. This vibration results in low frequency sound waves being sent out through the air.

Do subwoofers play music or just bass?

A subwoofer looks similar to other speakers. However, it is a speaker specially designed to play the low-frequencies. It focuses on amplifying the bass and sub-bass in the music through low-frequency audio signal emissions.

How do I make my subs hit the hardest?

You can also make minor upgrades to your subwoofer to make it hit harder. Change the small cone in front of the subwoofer, change the voice coil or get a new enclosure for the subwoofer. If you don't want to put much effort into it, just turn the volume to zero and play your track with medium bass.

Can too much bass damage speakers?

Too much bass can cause the speaker cones to move excessively beyond its limits — a situation known as over excursion. Over time the cones will deform and eventually break. Also, an extremely loud bass can easily damage midrange speakers because they are not designed to play low frequencies.

Which direction should my subwoofer face?

In general, a subwoofer should be placed in a way that it's facing the main listening area. Generally speaking, a front-firing subwoofer needs to be facing out towards the room. The location you choose for your subwoofer plays a significant role in its performance.

Do audiophiles use subwoofers?

Most audiophiles don't use subs, so they're missing out on great bass. Obviously, if you're using stand-mounted speakers without a sub, you're not getting deep bass. But even if you're using a big pair of tower speakers, you're probably not getting good bass.
