Before we get started, here’s what you need to know when shopping.
Peak Power: Peak power wattage is the maximum watt output the speaker can handle for short bursts. It’s important but also keep RMS power in mind.
RMS Power: This wattage is the average or continuous power your subwoofer uses. It is the most reliable measure of the volume and sound you’ll get.
Ohm: This measures the so-called impedance of your subwoofer in ohms. The lower it is, the more easily electricity flows through the speaker.
Voice Coil Size: A larger voice coil offers better audio, has better control over the audio cone, and can handle greater power than a smaller one.
Dimensions: What’s the point in getting a subwoofer you don’t have the space for? Check the subwoofer’s size below to avoid installation issues.
Warranty: How long the manufacturer backs up their product can say a lot about it. Most of the subwoofers we included have a solid one year warranty.
