Choosing the Best Bass SubwoofersBass adds a dimension to music and sound in general that simply cannot be replaced, and because of the unique qualities of bass, a lot of people are investing their hard-earned cash to buy subwoofer systems. Today’s article will center on a variety of tips when you are buying a subwoofer for the first time. But, before we head over to the main buying tips, let’s talk about the nature of subwoofers and why you need them in the first place. As you may already know, sound from songs, movies, and video games are composed of varying frequencies. Many of these sound frequencies can be handled easily by conventional speakers or amplifiers. However, with more complex sounds, many conventional speakers/amplifiers become overwhelmed with the task of transmitting so many different frequencies at once. The result is sound distortion or poor sound relay. Bass is a low-frequency signal that usually taxes speakers. Conventional speakers simply cannot convey bass properly, because this particular signal requires a lot of power, and many speakers are not up to the task. Engineers recognized this problem early on, and that is the reason why subwoofers were created. Subwoofers are tasked with processing and transmitting low-frequency signals. Subwoofers can be built into a main system, or they can be added to an existing sound system. Subwoofers, unlike conventional speakers, do not easily crumple when strong bass signals are coming in from the media that is being played. Again, bass adds that unique quality to sound that makes listening a true pleasure. If you want a subwoofer for your car or home, here are some buying tips to ensure that you will get the best bang for your buck. 1. If you have a lot of money for your subwoofer, you can definitely invest in more expensive brands. However, if you do not have a lot of money, you don’t have to resort to really cheap subwoofers that will probably break down in six months time. A lot of good brands, like Polk or Yamaha, are sold in special sales throughout the year. If you don’t want to pay full price, just wait for these subwoofer systems to go on sale. 2. Size does matter when it comes to relaying powerful bass. Do not look at the size of the subwoofer’s body. Instead, look at the size of the actual cone or speaker. A good subwoofer has a speaker that measures at least nine inches. If you can find a budget-friendly subwoofer, with intelligent signal processing, and with a speaker measuring twelve inches or above, consider yourself really lucky; that is an ideal scenario for buyers who have limited budgets. 3. If you want to place your subwoofer in your car, you need to invest in a hardwood enclosure. Your enclosure will ensure that your subwoofer will not be destroyed by the endless vibrations and impacts absorbed by the car whenever you drive. |
