How to make a right choose and buy car subwoofer. Part 1

How to make a right choose and buy car subwoofer The subwoofer is an integral part of modern sound system. It adds stage sound clean and loud bass, thus improving the acoustic design house, apartment or your car, making the sound volume and quality. Subwoofer — a speaker that reproduces low frequencies. It is usually larger than the others. The word “subwoofer” is used to determine the acoustic system with low-frequency head, executed in a separate building. Literally it means “below the low-frequency dynamics”. Today provided an enormous selection of subwoofers on the market loudspeakers. Very often they are equipped with home theaters.

Before you select and buy a car subwoofer (often still called the “Sub”), you need to make sure that you have all the necessary components of an acoustic system in the car. The preferred is the presence in front of the component and (optional) rear — component or a coaxial system. Audio power amplifier, in case of an active subwoofer in the case have not required, but it would not be very bad. It is worth noting that even without the established car subwoofer, you must be quite a decent bass. The subwoofer can not completely replace the acoustics — it was specifically designed to complement its sound quality. This is not so, the subwoofer can issue so-called “upper bass”. That sound should publish the column, the so-called midbass, and subwoofer speakers — only the “bottom”.

To the right choice, initially evaluate its acoustics. No need to buy an expensive car subwoofer and a powerful, if you have cheap speakers and amplifier — subwoofer will be allocated among all components of the system and thus spoil the overall sound stage.

Car subwoofers can be divided into corps and some independent dynamics. The latter, in turn, are divided further into those that are set (in the language of the installer — “slam”) in the shelf/back of rear seats and those that are installed in various corps of specially designed volume. Loudspeakers are four standard sizes: 8, 10, 12 and 15 inches. It is worth noting that the more he is in size, the more it provides a sound pressure in the cabin, but it will resonate more strongly. That is why the best choice subwoofer is the size of 10–12 inches.

If you have already decided to buy a subwoofer, is primarily to draw attention to the material of construction suspension. When it's made of rubber — subwoofer is much milder, if made of rubber — and harder to order less. Also important indicators is a basket (case) of subwoofer. Powerful subwoofer often comes with a massive cast aluminum basket. Recognized by world leaders today are Americans. But be careful with his choice — the subwoofer can be a Chinese “crafts”. Choose more serious and reliable shopping car electronics, which will not spoil the reputation of low quality goods. At 130.com.ua you can buy car subwoofer in Kharkov, Odessa, Kiev with delivery in Ukraine.

Realise, that if the name is unknown, then with great probability is the product of Chinese origin. Pathetic smallness of such goods actually worthy of your attention and money. We can understand your uncertainty with the choice of electronics. Therefore, for from our part suggest a list of reliable and proven manufacturers: Alpine, Audison, Focal, Hertz, JBL, Morel.

Now a few words about the power of acoustic systems. Many manufacturers deliberately exaggerate the technical specifications of the subwoofer, especially abusing such a parameter as the “maximum power”. Therefore, a bright box with large numbers of declared sound power does not need to pay attention. We recommend you look at the appearance of the dynamics of the subwoofer. For example, a subwoofer with 500 watts of real power should be with cast basket weighing about 20 kg. And the magnet had to be almost the same. In rare cases, the use of expensive and high-tech magnet assembly produces higher values of power. But as a rule, it is necessary only for competitions autosound for greater sound pressure at SPL competitions. Even for the most inveterate audiophile subwoofer with enough “real” power of 150–250 Tues If you are a real guru, loud music, it would be better to buy two subwoofers, or a double one, with the heads of 10 inches. Prerequisite when purchasing a powerful subwoofer has insulation inside a car or at least the trunk. Otherwise — you will not hear anything except jitter plating and plate.
