What Is a Subwoofer?

A subwoofer is a loudspeaker designed to produce low-pitched frequencies like bass or sub-bass. The frequency produced by the subwoofer is usually lower in frequency. This is generally about 20 to 200 Hz. Those produced by a woofer are 50 to 1,000 Hz.

The subwoofer is never used alone. This is because they augment the high-frequency range produced by woofers. The subwoofer has a built-in amplifier that produces a deep bass sound. This is often used to improve the low-frequency range that small audio speakers can not produce well.

These low frequencies come from instruments like the kick drum, bass guitar, and pipe organ. They can also be in movie sound effects. You can hear them during explosions or earthquake sounds.
