Subs. Cortex. The luidheid. Gloria. The most offensive of the system, and also one of the most necessary.
If my article about speakers have read, are up to speed. If you do not (and you know nothing about speakers and subwoofer are not), read here.
Subwoofer to reproduce the lowest frequencies of the frequencies of sound, bass aka. It 'important for both SQ and SPL systems, but for other reasons. Now let's see …
For SQ-systems:Effective to reproduce the lowest frequencies that make the music sound full and forceful. The instruments that play lower frequencies as the organ, drums and synthesizers will sound more realistic and powerful, with a subwoofer installed.
For systems SPL: Because subwoofers are high, are a speaker preferred to Whole Lotta noise.
Furthermore, because our ears are less sensitive to lower frequencies, we need the extra bass system, harmonic sound.
Yes, what should I do totrying to find a great subwoofer? I will tell you!
Power Handling:
Like any other section of a stereo system, power handling is also important for the subwoofer. Rather, my article on the speakers I was talking about how you can send more power to them to increase their volume, but decreases the disorder. The same is true subwoofer, but be careful! Since the distortion at low frequency is difficult to see, it is easy to exaggerate and blow the subwoofer. In any case, withThat said, it is better to buy an amplifier that can put exactly what your subwoofers are designed to take, but take it easy!
Size:
Subs come in various sizes, but the most common are 8 ", 10", 12 "and 15". It 'probably in metric known European brands. As you can imagine, the player Woofers largest, will play louder and lower. It 'clear that the smaller, more music, more precisely, and a good "more difficult". What size do you normally choose to do withtheir preferences, and considerations of installation. Remember! 18 "subwoofer can not be used just anywhere!
Info Voice Coil:
SVC: Single coil
This means that with a single voice coil speaker. In other words, a single voice.
DVC: Dual coil
This means that the speaker has two coils, or both inputs.
Ummmmmmm ok. Why is it important?
I could not get here, but no matter. Basically, it boils down to this:With a DVC subwoofer, there are several installation options. See in this way, a DVC "appears" as two subwoofers to your amplifier. With a few clever tricks wiring (called serial and parallel), you can connect up to a lot of subwoofers to a single office – even if the mandate of "money" or a two-channel amplifier. Also, how many ohms amplifier is under pressure to handle. If you have an amplifier that is stable for half an ohm (as some of the old school Orion HCCA amplifiers), you can participate in a 4-8 Woofersany channel! Imagine the noise that you can do!
A few words about boxing:
The boxes are essential for most subwoofers. In other words, consider a subwoofer box is as important as the subwoofer itself. Why? Why do most subwoofers need a box to work properly, sounds good, and not the damage itself. Subs not need a box called "free air" or "infinite baffle subwoofer.
As I said, no need for a subwoofer box. So let's talk about boxes!
First, what typescrates are there?
Seal: The most simple form. Especially a sealed box is a box where the inside and outside are not linked. There are no holes, and an effort to ensure that the box is completely closed.
Brought a box ported subwoofer is a box with at least one hole, or "port" in it. The purpose of the box is taken to emphasize a specific frequency. These boxes are used because they are often higher than sealed boxes.
Pass Band: Band Pass A window similar to a ported boxbecause it has doors, but the box of bandwidth trying to de-emphasize certain frequencies, while the focus is on others. In other words, it seems a crossover Band Pass. Band Pass box shows a band, highlighting the frequency is lower and upper band.
Isobarik: These boxes are designed to use more than one subwoofer in a small box. Subwoofers are configured to work in tandem. Sometimes they move the subtitles in the same direction at the same time, sometimes a sub-anchorwhile other battles. There are advantages in this type of configuration, but of course design is difficult.
OK, now you know everything about SUBZ, but here are the specifications you need to know the subwoofer to select:
Power Handling: Subs are speakers, and as such can only handle so much power (or lack of) before they blow! Power is measured in watts, and is often seen in two specifications: RMS and Max (or peak). RMS rating is the key. If a sub says it canhandle 200 watts RMS and 400 watts Max, make sure that the amplifier 200 watts RMS going to happen, so good. Not 400 watts RMS. Although it is true that the sub can handle 400 watts, it can only handle this type of energy for a short period of time. If you connect the sub to an amp, put in 400 watts RMS, you can destroy the speaker pretty quickly – because it is constantly exposed to 400 watts, cracks, not short at 400 watts. You dig? Good.
Sensitivity: This term means what you think it means. InIn short, a subwoofer with a higher sensitivity is more than a subwoofer with lower sensitivity when based on the amplifier itself. The specification is measured in dB.
Frequency response: Yes, of course, want a subwoofer that can handle a wide range of frequencies. But the subwoofer makes the most of the work of 100 Hz If the subwoofer to play all the way down to 20Hz, you know you have participated. The good news is that, even if it is not so low, the music mostly is not. Sooooo, youstill closed. I would say that it is more important to have a player down to the sub-systems with DVD and 5.1 audio. Also varies depending on the frequency response box that the subwoofer is installed Ummmm, so with that in mind, but choose a subwoofer that force will be able to handle, and a good way you want.
Cone Material: When it comes to subwoofers, this is actually a very important thing to tackle. Subwoofer, because they are big and strong, you have a cone materialthat can withstand a lot, a lot of abuse. Personally I am a big fan of metal and aluminum. This is because aluminum is light and rigid, and also gives a very tight and musical sounding bass. I know that many subwoofer manufacturers use exotic-sounding material to their subwoofers, which makes it difficult to decide which materials are best to do.
Surround material: Here's my advice: always make sure you get a subwoofer with a rubber surround. Rubber has the best carenvironment.
Impedance measured in ohms, this spec tells you how much resistance the speaker to the amplifier. Too much and do not get the volume, too little and the subwoofer will fry your amp! This spec will help to decide which amp to connect to your subwoofer, or you want to bridge your amp, and if you want to link multiple subs in parallel or in series. Furthermore, subwoofer sometimes there are more than one coil (aka DVC). This means that the subwoofer will have twoinputs, each with the same impedance. Subwoofer with dual coils are more flexible for installation, especially in multiple woofer systems.
A subwoofer basic installation is relatively easy. If you buy a pre-fab sub box, mount the subtitles and can you get good bass. To install professionally, and get the best sound, planning and work go into the whole process. This is a situation where, if you feel confident in your ability to build a box, melody and insertblock, you need a car audio shop and let them do to you. It may be relatively cheap or very expensive.
If you plan to do the installation yourself, but missing box build skills, you can buy a pre-fab box. I would also strongly suggest a mechanism to refine the low EQ. This will help reduce road noise (which remains low), and also reduce the "booming" and "Creep" to overcome. By the end of this path is the best balance between adequate space and aPre-fab box. You get a great sound, and save money!
Well go easy on the ears!
