Types of woofers and subwoofers

There are many types of woofers and subwoofers available in New Zealand which you can consider for your home audio system.

Standard woofer

The standard woofer provides between 20Hz and 2,500Hz. It draws less power than other home subwoofer options and has smaller casings. These features make it ideal for smaller spaces.

Enclosed

This type is pre-mounted in a box and doesn't need much customisation. As such, it’s ideal for beginners or people who want a simple home subwoofer.

Down-firing

The down-firing speaker subwoofer is the most stable type, as all the weight is towards the bottom, and the vulnerable part faces the ground.

Ported

The ported home subwoofer is similar to the enclosed type, except it has a small ventilation slit in the front, which gives it increased efficiency compared to alternatives.

Two chambers-separated

This one is two speaker subwoofer types in one casing but kept separate. It’s like having double-enclosed home subwoofer types synchronising with each other.

Passive radiator

Passive radiators are smaller speaker subwoofer types that amplify the bass a more contained system produces. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a wireless subwoofer that uses less power.

Bandpass

The bandpass is ideal for larger systems, like a home theatre system. It accumulates raw bass using pressure and produces deep sounds.

The advantages of high-quality woofers and subwoofers

There are many advantages to choosing high-quality woofers and subwoofers for your home audio system. The first and easily most important advantage is that high-quality options are designed and engineered to produce higher-quality sound. This will enrich your home audio system, allowing you to experience your favourite soundtracks as they were meant to be heard by the artists and professionals behind them. They utilise the latest technology and superior components to deliver this and additional features like smart connectivity. They also tend to be stylish in design too, which is an aspect that is sometimes overlooked but is no less important given how visible they can be in a living space.  

How to choose a woofer and subwoofer that’s right for you

There are a few things to consider before buying a new woofer or subwoofer for your home or business. The first is the select a type that is appropriate to the size of your space and the system you’re using. For example, if you’re working with a small space then something like a passive subwoofer might be the most suitable choice. Your choice also depends on the type of music or soundtracks you like to listen to. If you are a fan of hip-hop or hard rock which demands quite a strong base output then a bandpass subwoofer would be ideal. You’ll also want to look at any additional features that come with the woofer or subwoofer like Wi-Fi connectivity or smartphone apps that give you convenient controls.
