What is the best frequency response for a subwoofer?
Subwoofers deliver the best bass in any music setup. A 20-120 Hz rating is best for bass in most subwoofers. The lower the Hz, the more is the bass you can get. Some of the best subwoofers in the market have this Hz range.
Why does my Sub not hit hard?
Acoustics: Sometimes it may seem like your subwoofers are not hitting hard enough, but it is actually the acoustics of the room that are making your speakers sound bad. If your subwoofer sounds good when the volume is low, but does not hit hard enough when you increase the volume, your amplifier is too small.
What frequency is deep bass?
between 16-80Hz

What is a subwoofer and how does it work?
A subwoofer is a special type of speaker that emits sound on the low end of the frequency range, more commonly known as bass. Normal speakers produce a wide range of frequencies, but don’t reach the lowest ones. The subwoofer helps to create a cleaner sound texture by filling in this low-range gap in the soundscape coming from your system.
Are subwoofers only for home theater?
There’s a lingering sentiment in the audiophile community that subwoofers are only for home theater and the benefits to music playback are suspect or even negative. It’s true that lesser subwoofers are not designed to optimally handle the speed, detail and nuance of certain music, but it’s certainly not the rule for subwoofers in general.
Should I add a second subwoofer to my system?
However, as your system grows, adding a second sub can help ensure the bass is evenly distributed throughout the whole room. Two SPL-150s increase your output capability by close to 6 dB, meaning everyone in the room can feel those powerful, low tones while watching action and sci-fi movies.
Can you listen to music without a subwoofer?
Listening to bass-heavy music like hip hop or EDM or watching a full-throttle action flick without a subwoofer leaves a lot to be desired. Plus, you’re not experiencing the song or movie the way the artist or director intended.
