The wire that connects the
amplifier and subwoofer should be a proper gauge that can take the power
the sub needs.
Away from each other
Don't run your large red
(power from battery) next to your monster cable (signal cable from pre-amped
outputs on radio). Keep them as far as possible because they create
static.
The right model
If your system utilizes a
subwoofer, select a model with a built in low pass crossover and a bass
boos circuit. The crossover will filter the sound, so that only bass
notes go to the subwoofer, and the bass boom will increase the deep bass
impact.
::Subwoofers ::
When there's woofers
An amplifier that runs
sub-woofers or woofers will require more power than one that runs the
speakers carrying mids and highs. This is because it takes more energy
to move the speaker cone back and forth. With
bass sound, the cone can
move quite a distance! The high frequency sounds take less energy.
