Frequently Asked Questions

Subwoofers in a car can enhance the overall audio experience by delivering deep and powerful bass frequencies that regular car speakers may not be able to reproduce. Whether they are worth it depends on individual preferences and priorities. If you enjoy music genres that heavily rely on deep bass, such as hip-hop or electronic music, investing in a subwoofer can significantly enhance your listening experience. However, it's important to consider factors like cost and the available space in the car before deciding if a subwoofer is worth it for you.

In general, it is possible to install a subwoofer in a car, but there are some considerations to keep in mind. Not all subwoofers are designed specifically for automotive use, so it's important to choose one that is compatible with your car's electrical system and audio setup. Additionally, you'll need to ensure that the subwoofer's size and enclosure can fit properly in your car without obstructing other components or compromising passenger comfort. Consulting with a professional car audio installer can help ensure you choose the right subwoofer and properly install it in your car.

We stock 6.5/8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch subwoofers you can place into your own enclosure, along with a broad cross-section of both passive (non-powered) and active (amplified) loaded enclosures for those who’d prefer to opt for a prefabricated solution. If space is a limiting factor, you might wanna opt for something that fits into your spare wheel well or under your front seats, you will find something to suit your available space to fill the bottom octave.

Subwoofers can potentially drain a car's battery if they are not installed or used properly. Subwoofers draw power from the car's electrical system, and if the wiring is not done correctly or if the subwoofer is left on when the engine is off, it can put a strain on the battery. This is especially true if the car battery is old or weak. To prevent excessive drain on the battery, it's important to have the subwoofer professionally installed with proper wiring, use a dedicated amplifier with appropriate power handling and avoid leaving the subwoofer on when the car is not running for extended periods.
