In essence, big is always better as long as you don't expect the sub to go too high in frequency. The explanation is all in moving air. To produce the large booming sound, a sub has to move a lot of air, and this is affected by the surface area of the driver. The larger the surface, the more air it can move.Feb 1, 2021

Do subwoofers have to be big?

When it comes to subwoofers, the answer's yes; size matters greatly. If you have a couple of 8″ drivers in a box you're calling a subwoofer, you're going to be disappointed if you follow the setup steps we'll be discussing – because you won't get the results we're getting.

Is a bigger sub Better?

You could have a small subwoofer that sounds bigger than it looks. That in itself attests to the power of a subwoofer. A smaller subwoofer guarantees higher performance and a richer sound. Bigger means deeper and not necessarily better.

What happens if my sub box is too small?

If the port becomes too small, it may result in port noise, or allow the woofer to simply unload. Do not underestimate the sub / port arrangement. Sometimes where you place the vents or subs can make a monstrous difference in output.

What is a good size for a subwoofer?

The best subwoofer for you will be one that fits in your vehicle, one that you can properly power, and one that fits your budget. If size, power, space, and budget aren't issues, go with the 12 inch subwoofers. If 12s won't work, go with 10 inch subwoofers. If 10-inch subwoofers won't work, go with 8 inch subwoofers.

Is a 15 inch subwoofer too big?

The answer to the question of whether 15 inch subwoofers have better base than 12 inch subs is not an easy one to answer. The fact is, “better” is a personal opinion. 15 inch subwoofers are larger and displace more air than 12 inch subwoofers do, so the 12 in will have a crisper, sharper sound than the larger ones.

Does more cone area mean more bass?

If those two woofers are again compared and they now have the same motor force but the cone area of one is simply increased (which would be virtually impossible to achieve and maintain all the other qualities of the woofer), the woofer with the larger cone area will be louder.

Does magnet size matter on subwoofer?

Bigger magnets are required for bigger speakers, but they do not necessarily make them “better.” Larger magnets (and stronger audio signals/voltages) are necessary to move large speaker cones and subwoofers. However, the overall quality of a loudspeaker depends on more than the size of its magnets.

Does a bigger sub box make it louder?

Buy a bigger sub. a bigger box makes it louder at a note just above the tunning hz. but the other notes it will not be as loud. it makes the box peak more and be loud in a smaller area other than many notes.
