Why Add A Subwoofer?
Sub-bass frequencies can be considered to be the foundation upon which to build an accurate and realistic automobile audio system. Subwoofers reproduce the lower frequencies that other speakers cannot reach, and they can do it with clarity, punch, and depth. As time passes, music styles change and evolve. Today’s music playback systems have to deliver a performance that will satisfy the listener’s elevated expectations. It is obvious that the quality of the midrange and high frequency components must be optimized because so much critical information is found in those ranges. The use of a subwoofer is of equal importance, however, because a sub will help to fill out the lowest musical octaves of sound and provide a more realistic listening experience. It should be mentioned that bass does not need to be overbearing or exaggerated, but rather, it can be a subtle yet important enhancement to almost any style of music or program. If, on the other hand, your taste for bass runs to the extreme, equipment available today can come close to popping the windshield right out of your vehicle.
Finding a location for all of the speakers large and small can be challenging in an auto environment. Selecting, installing, and integrating the components can be as difficult as any other audio system. Automobiles are an important part of our society, like it or not, and since we spend so much time in them we want to make sure that our audio experience is at least as good as what is achieved with our other systems.
Why Do It Yourself?
There are quite a few really good subwoofer systems on the market today that give excellent performance… for a price. It is not unusual for the actual value of the components and materials to add up to as little as 25% of the total cost in the retail showroom. There is obviously some room for improvement here! When you have control over the components that are used, the enclosure design, and construction materials and methods, the result can be superior sub bass output that requires a lower cash input. With a few common tools, a weekend or two of your time, and some elbow grease, Parts Express can show you how to build a sub that will perform like the commercially available ones and save you money.
