Buying subwoofers — common questions

Sealed or ported — which subwoofer should you get?

Sealed for music, mixed use, apartments and small rooms: gentle roll-off, tighter sound, smaller box. Ported for maximum movie-bass output per dollar in bigger rooms — with a steep drop below the port's tuning. Neither is better; they're tuned for different jobs. The full trade-off.

How low does a subwoofer need to go?

A sub rated to 20 Hz reproduces the sub-bass you feel more than hear; one that stops near 30 Hz covers nearly all music and most movie content but softens the deepest effects. Check the tolerance too — a −6 dB rating isn't comparable to a ±3 dB one, and we display them as stated rather than converting.

Are two subwoofers better than one?

In most rooms, yes. Every room has spots where bass piles up and spots where it vanishes; two modest subs placed apart average out those peaks and nulls across the whole couch far better than one expensive box. At the same total spend, the pair usually wins.
