The best subwoofers you can buy in 2023
If you've found your way to this post, you're likely considering adding a subwoofer to your home audio or home theater setup, and we think that's a great idea. Beyond the obvious ideas about subwoofers — that they add big boom and rumble to your movies as well as a swift kick in the chest with your music — adding lower frequencies can also bring depth, drama, and tension to whatever you're watching, even when it's quieter.Get more news about fashion subwoofer speaker,you can vist our website!
A dedicated subwoofer can also take a significant amount of strain off of your amplifier, resulting in cleaner sound and higher dynamics from the other speakers in your system. Additionally, many of the powered speaker solutions s we're seeing in the market also come with subwoofer-out ports, so you can significantly improve their bass sound.
While the fantastic SVS SB16-Ultra is our favorite, we've also collected a list of alternatives ranging from the budget $130 range to the higher-end $2,000-plus mark, each with its own specific strengths, ranging from auto-equalization to saving on space without giving up the bass. Let's get bumpin'.
The SVS SB-16 Ultra has been on our list for some time, mainly because we haven't found anything worthy to take its place. This subwoofer has become our measuring stick, which might actually be unfair to the competition — it's that good. Beneath a sleek, stylish subwoofer box, the cubic SVS SB16 houses a monstrous 16-inch Ultra driver with an 8-inch, edge-wound voice coil and a ridiculous 1,500-watt continuous Sledge amplifier with discrete MOSFET output that tops out at 5,000 watts peak power.
Additionally, a smartphone app for iOS and Android has upped the SB16 Ultra's game significantly, taking the pain out of setting up your sub by allowing you to fine-tune the speaker from your optimal listening position and create custom presets for different listening situations.
All of this is to say: No matter how you're using the SB16, it impresses. Gunshots and explosions in films register with a hefty thump to the chest, and the sub manages low-end instrumentation beautifully, allowing acoustic bass to bounce smoothly while electronic bass and kick drums shake the foundation of your home. For our money, this is the best subwoofer you can buy, period.
Monoprice has quickly risen through the ranks of AV stardom, outputting top-notch hardware that looks awesome, sounds great, and is priced competitively. And if you're looking for some rumble but don't want the tumble of big-budget prices, look no further than the mighty Monoprice 150-Watt Powered Subwoofer.
Rocking a 12-inch, front-firing driver that peaks at 200 watts, the sub comes with all the standard fare we'd expect from pretty much any reasonable woofer, including gain and frequency adjustments in addition to standard RCA connections and line-level inputs and outputs.
Klipsch is constantly reinventing its own wheel, and when you consider the fact that there aren't many problems to address in the first place, it only goes to show just how much the brand cares about looks and performance. Thus, we arrive at the Klipsch Reference Series 12 R-121SW.
We love the fact that Klipsch went back to the drawing board to create an all-new woofer design. The sub's front-firing 12-inch cone is composed of what the company calls thermoform crystalline polymer, delivering a resounding low-end experience with minimal distortion, and with a much lighter chassis. There's also the onboard digital amplifier, the heart and lungs of the 121SW, supplying up to 400 watts of unequaled power with pinpoint accuracy.
New Motorcycle Speaker Company Launches
The first Gale Force products, which started shipping in February, are two competition grade marine speakers that are being used mainly in motorcycles.Get more news about motorcycle speaker production,you can vist our website!
“We started out as a marine line, but it’s developed more into powersports. The motorcycle industry has gone bananas. It’s something I truly didn’t expect.” About 60 to 70 percent of Gale Force’s sales are for motorcycle installs.
The startup’s speakers are high powered pro audio style coaxials with a compression horn and glass fiber cone. Launched in February, the F3 line (named after the tornado rating) includes a 6.5- and 8-coaxial that are bi-ampable. A 10 inch midbass is on the way. New subwoofers are also in the works.
Melissa Hall of Bass Wars competes with the speakers, said Palmer.
Palmer, age 33, started in the car audio competition scene in 2010 and worked at a number of audio shops as well as Crescendo Audio. He helped out at other 12 volt companies over the years “more as friends than an employee.”
Palmer and Stahl decided they could become a supplier in their own right and started working with a factory in China about two years ago. Palmer said he spent evenings tweaking speaker prototypes while he kept his day job at a gun suppler. “It took a full year of back and forth until we got something we were truly proud of.”
Partner Stahl, 32, works for a software company and provides the financial backing and contacts in the boating industry.
The two current F3 coaxials each have a 1.5-inch voice coil for the compression horn and 2-inch voice coil on the woofer. The woofer handles 600 to 800 watts RMS and the horns handle 75 watts RMS conservatively.
The speakers are sold individually at $240 and $265, respectively.
Palmer said the company doesn’t charge a premium for marine grade water resistance so as to keep pricing low with a deep margin for dealers. Soundwise the speakers include a rubber surround and have a deeper midbass for a “fuller, warmer sound, than the typical, super efficient, crazy loud speakers,” he claimed.
Gale Force drop-in Harley speakers are in the works. Palmer said, “Eventually the goal is to quit my day job. This is what I love to do. Audio has been a part of my life for 10 to 15 years.”
Gale Force Audio is sold to both dealers and direct to consumers. The brand is currently working with about 30 dealers.
