Subwoofer - Explained !

A subwoofer is a loudspeaker dedicated to reproducing low-frequency audio (typically 20-200Hz), crucial for home theater and music systems. Types include ported (for deeper bass extension), sealed (tighter, more accurate bass), and bandpass designs. Key specs are frequency response (e.g., 18Hz-120Hz ±3dB), driver size (8″-21″), and amplification (class D for efficiency). Advanced features include room EQ (like Anthem ARC), wireless connectivity (e.g., SVS SoundPath), and parametric EQ for precise tuning. The *SVS PB-16 Ultra* exemplifies high-end performance with a 16″ driver and 1,500W RMS amp.
