The very best amplifier for a subwoofer is a class AB or Class H amplifier. Class D amplifiers are too slow and cannot keep up with repetitive bass. A class AB has a toroidal transformer and coke can capacitors so when the kick drum kicks the woofer responds instantly.
How do I know what amp is best for my subs?
Step 1: How much power? Find out the “watts RMS” rating of the sub. Then, multiply the number of subs you have by the RMS rating of each, to get their total RMS rating. You want to make sure the amp you choose will supply no more than the sub system's total RMS rating.
Can any amplifier be used for a subwoofer?
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.
Do you need a special amp for a subwoofer?
The short answer is that everyone who wants a subwoofer in their car also needs a subwoofer amplifier. As to whether you need a separate amp for your subwoofer, that depends on the hardware you have and the car audio system that you're trying to build.
Which class of amplifier is best?
Class “A” amplifiers Class “A” amplifiers are considered the best class of amplifier design due mainly to their excellent linearity, high gain and low signal distortion levels when designed correctly.
What is a good RMS for a subwoofer?
It is recommended that you go with at least 100 watts RMS in order to get a decent amount of power for your subwoofer. This will make sure that your speakers are loud and clear, but it can be improved by using an amplifier as well.
Which is Better Class AB or Class D amp?
Class A design is the least efficient but has the highest sound fidelity. Class B design is a little more efficient, but full of distortion. Class AB design offers power efficiency and good sound. Class D design has the highest efficiency but isn't quite as high-fidelity.
Do subwoofers need power?
A subwoofer (sub) is speaker, that is dedicated to the reproduction of low-pitched audio frequencies most commonly referred to as bass. Passive Sub: Passive subs are called passive because they need to be powered by an external amplifier or Audio/Video (A/V) receiver . This is similar to traditional speakers.
Can I use bass amp for subwoofer?
It is possible to use a bass amp as a subwoofer, however, bass amps aren't designed to project the same depth of low frequencies as a subwoofer. Bass amplifiers mainly highlight the mid-range frequencies of a bass guitar, while subwoofers tend to focus heavily on the sub-bass frequencies.
