How a New Subwoofer Improves your Car Audio Experience

Have you ever heard a live orchestra? If you have, you know all too well the fullness and richness that comes from a well-balanced ensemble. If classical isn’t your speed, perhaps you’ve been to a rap or rock concert and felt the bass shake you right down to your bones. Or maybe you’ve visited a movie theater and been shaken by the thrum of an on-screen explosion.

What if you could get that experience during your daily commute through your car audio speakers? You can; that’s what new subwoofers do.

Contrary to popular belief, it often isn’t making your music louder that makes the sound better, but rebalancing the spectrum of tones—highs and lows—that come through your car audio speakers. It’s in this respect that subwoofers are one of the best upgrades you can make when it comes to your car audio system.

But what are subwoofers, exactly? And how do they balance your sound? Mobile Installation, a Brooklyn Park car upgrade installation company, is here to explain.

What are Subwoofers?

Essentially, subwoofers (also called “subs” or “woofers”) are car audio speakers that amplify the bass (low) tones in your music. Though they used to be large and cumbersome (think the giant speakers that come with your home theater surround sound) modern innovation has made subwoofers compact enough to fit into your car.

How do Subwoofers Work?

If you want to get scientific, these special speakers amplify low-frequency sound waves in your audio—generally between 20 and 80 hertz. They can produce omnidirectional, or all-direction, sound; this means you’ll get the best subwoofer experience if the audio has something to bounce off of. Thus, subwoofers are a great fit for the enclosed space that is your car!

Who Can Benefit from Subwoofers?

You may associate the heavier bass subwoofers with certain music genres such as dubstep or rap. However, manufacturers hardly ever give their car audio systems much thought; auto companies tend to pay more attention to performance-related factors such as the axles and wheels. While all this attention means a great ride, car audio systems often fall by the wayside.

The right make of subwoofer will drastically improve your car audio system sound quality, regardless of the genre of music you listen to.
