subwoofer
Low-frequency loudspeaker
A subwoofer is a loudspeaker designed to reproduce very low bass frequencies, typically below 200 Hz.
Standard speakers struggle with deep bass, so subwoofers handle the rumble in explosions, the thump in kick drums, and the lowest notes in electronic music.
Home theater systems and car audio setups often include a dedicated subwoofer: The subwoofer shook the whole room during the action scenes.
