RMS Power Handling
The RMS power is the amount of power the speaker requires to operate safely and properly. RMS Power Handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle on a continuous basis. We recommend powering your speakers or subwoofer with 80%-120% of its recommended RMS rating. The RMS power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.
Peak Power Handling
Peak power handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle during a brief musical burst. The RMS power range figure is a much more reliable rating for determining the speaker's power requirements. The Peak power handling specification is typically rated per speaker unless otherwise noted.
Series
Many brands group their products into series or lines of products to help customers know the level of quality (good, better, best for example). You can filter by series and the brand using our guided browsing.
Subwoofer Size
Refers to the diameter of the subwoofer, measured in inches.
Shallow Mount Installation
This means that the subwoofer/speaker is designed to be installed in areas that do not have a lot of space. Shallow mount subwoofers are typically found under a seat or behind the seat in some trucks.

Shallow mount speakers will typically have a mounting depth of 2" or less, while shallow mount subwoofers will typically have a mounting depth of 3" or less.
Voice Coil(s)
Dual voice coil subs have more wiring flexibility than single voice coils subs; however, single voice coil subwoofers provide easier hookup options for wiring multiple subwoofers in parallel or series. You may also run a dual voice coil (DVC) sub in parallel, series, or combination. A quad voice coil has four voice coils and is equal to two dual voice coil subwoofers as far as wiring goes.
Impedance (Per Voice Coil)
The load value (in ohms) that the speakers present to the amplifier per voice coil - the amount of resistance to the current flow. This is a key specification as subs wired in parallel or low impedances can create problems with your amplifier and potentially void all warranties. We encourage you to ask our support department prior to purchase if you do not understand which impedance level will suit your application best.
Subwoofer Design
This is the design of the subwoofer or the opening of the subwoofer enclosure. Each design has it's own benefits, whether it is a square, circle, or oval.

Round/Circle: This is the typical and common subwoofer design. They have a round cone and are a circle in design.

Square: These woofers are able to achieve a greater cone area in a smaller space. Because of the greater surface area, some square subwoofers will be louder than a round subwoofer of the same size.

Minimum Sealed Box Volume
This value indicates the minimum sealed box volume that the manufacturer recommends for the subwoofer. The volume is typically displayed in cubic feet.
Maximum Sealed Box Volume
This value indicates the maximum sealed box volume that the manufacturer recommends for the subwoofer. The volume is typically displayed in cubic feet.
Sensitivity
An efficiency or sensitivity rating tells you how effectively a speaker converts power into sound. The higher the number, the more efficient the speaker and the louder it will play with the same input power. An efficient speaker helps you maximize your available power. Most sensitivity ratings measure the speaker's output with 1 watt of input, 1 meter from the speaker. Some speakers' sensitivity is measured with 2.83 volts of input, instead of 1 watt.
 
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".
Main Cone Color
This is the color of the speaker's or subwoofer's cone.
Recommended Enclosure Type
This is the recommended type of enclosure that the subwoofer should be installed into. Some subwoofers are specially designed for particular enclosures.

Sealed: These enclosures completely enclose the air inside the box. These boxes produce a tight bass.

Ported/Vented: These enclosures have a slot of air to escape from the box. The result is a sound that has more "boom".

Bandpass: These are a combination of both sealed and ported enclosures. They can be very efficient, but require tuning for the best response.

Xmax (millimeters)
Typically measured in millimeters, the Xmax value is the measure of a speaker cone's maximum excursion in one direction while maintaining a linear behavior.

    FAQ Frequently asked questions in Car Subwoofers

    A car subwoofer is a specialized speaker designed to reproduce low-frequency bass sounds. It enhances the audio system by delivering deep and powerful bass that standard car speakers cannot produce. Subwoofers are essential for experiencing the full range of frequencies in music and enhancing the overall audio quality. They add depth and impact to the sound, creating a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience. Whether you enjoy rock, hip-hop, or electronic music, a car subwoofer ensures that you can feel the music as well as hear it, adding a whole new dimension to your car audio system.
    Choosing the right car subwoofer involves considering factors such as the size of your vehicle, available space, power handling capabilities, and personal audio preferences. The most common subwoofer sizes for cars are 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch. Smaller subwoofers are suitable for compact cars with limited space, while larger ones provide more bass output for larger vehicles or enthusiasts seeking a more robust bass experience. Additionally, consider the subwoofer's power handling (RMS and peak power) and impedance to match it with your car amplifier. If you're unsure about which subwoofer to choose, consult with a car audio professional who can recommend the best option based on your vehicle and audio preferences.
    While some car audio enthusiasts may have the knowledge and experience to install a car subwoofer themselves, professional installation is generally recommended. Installing a subwoofer involves more than just connecting wires; it requires proper placement, enclosure design, and tuning to achieve optimal sound quality and performance. A professional installer has the expertise and tools to ensure that the subwoofer is installed correctly, reducing the risk of damage to the vehicle and audio equipment. Additionally, they can help integrate the subwoofer seamlessly into your car's interior and fine-tune the audio system for the best possible sound. Investing in professional installation guarantees that your car subwoofer performs at its best and provides a satisfying bass experience.
    A powered car subwoofer, also known as an active subwoofer, has a built-in amplifier, whereas a passive subwoofer requires an external amplifier to power it. The advantage of a powered subwoofer is its simplicity; it can be easily connected to the car's audio system without the need for a separate amplifier. This makes powered subwoofers a popular choice for those looking to add bass to their car audio system without extensive modifications. On the other hand, passive subwoofers offer more flexibility for audiophiles who want to customize their audio setup. They allow for the use of external amplifiers, giving users greater control over their audio system's performance. The choice between powered and passive subwoofers depends on your preferences and the level of customization you desire for your car audio setup.
    Yes, using multiple subwoofers in your car audio system is possible and can lead to improved bass performance. Multiple subwoofers can help distribute bass more evenly throughout the vehicle, reducing peaks and nulls in bass response. This can result in smoother and more consistent bass across different seating positions. Additionally, using multiple subwoofers can increase overall bass output, allowing for a more impactful and immersive listening experience. When using multiple subwoofers, it's essential to properly match them with the car's amplifier and consider enclosure designs that complement each subwoofer's characteristics. Integrating multiple subwoofers may require more complex installation and tuning, so consulting with a car audio professional is advisable to achieve the best results.
