subwoofers

Deep sound producers

Subwoofers are speakers designed to reproduce very low bass frequencies—the rumbling sounds you feel as much as hear.

Standard speakers struggle with these deep tones, so subwoofers handle them separately: The subwoofer made the explosions in the movie shake the room.

Common in home theater systems, car audio, and concert sound reinforcement.
