How a subwoofer can enhance your car stereo
A good subwoofer is an efficient way to get the most out of your music when you’re in your car. They get a bad rep for being obnoxious. Like anything, too much of a good thing can impede it’s effectiveness. If you’ve ever sat at a stoplight next to someone with their subs on blast you might feel this way. However, a good subwoofer in the hands of an experienced car audio installer can have a profound impact on the sound of your music.
The first thing most people notice is the amount of punch subwoofers add. This is because they are designed to balance the bottom octave of the music playing throughout your car stereo. Songs that you’ve listened to many times will sound brand new. Because without a subwoofer, there was no real method of output for those lower levels.
Also, you will notice that the mid levels and highs are clearer coming out of your components. Component speakers shine brightly when they don’t have to squeeze out low-level octaves. They are designed for clear, crisp lows and highs.
Adding boom isn’t the only reason to add a subwoofer. They can be tuned to suit any musical taste.
There are a few ways to get the most out of your sub. You can defeat the purpose of splurging on a powerful sub installing it in a poorly built box. Make sure that your box is sealed properly so that sound doesn’t escape causing low-level distortion. Also, you will want to consider sound dampening material in the area of the subwoofer. This will keep rattling and sudden spikes in sound in check. Lastly, ensure bolts and screws are all tight. A loose piece of hardware can be hard to track down and will have a major negative impact on your sound.
