- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- If you love bass, whether it's the mirror-rattling kind or the more subtle kind that adds fullness and nuance to any music, a subwoofer is the way to go. Which sub is right for you depends on many factors, including the size of your vehicle, what music you like, and also the type of installation involved.
Shop for car subwoofers: www.crutchfiel...
All subwoofers need an amp, whether it's built into the enclosure of a powered sub or mounted separately from the enclosure. The installation for either type is roughly the same; you need to grab power from your car's battery and then connect signal either from an aftermarket receiver's preamp outputs or by tapping into factory wiring.
Need help getting started? Watch our video to find out more about installing an amp and sub in your car. A powered sub installation will be about the same as the process described here, except that the amp is built into the sub box: • How to install an amp ...
You've got lots of choices when it comes to adding a sub to your vehicle, even if space is tight. Life is too short to live without good bass! You can always contact one of our advisors if you need some guidance, they'll help you find the right sub for you.

@@navenpillay 😂😂😂😂
ay four months later... did you ever get a car?
Dude😭😭
I knew I wasn't the only one that did that before lol 😆
How much bass you want vs how much groceries you want 😂😂😂 best level of example
Thushi Mj always got the middle seat. Unless you have a fun car that doesn’t😂
Charlie L u can but ur subs under the backseats that have ventilations holes that are on the sides of the seats they are not that bad looking
R3NyB 26 I would totally do that if I could afford it😭😂
haha
For example my Honda Civic with 2 15’s I can basically have 2 bags of groceries in my trunk gahaga
this is probably the most professional video about subs on youtube. answers a lot of questions.
Facts.
Having been in car audio since 1997 and having a degree in electronics, I can say this is a good video for beginners. I like all of the explanations of the different types. Very good.
I'm officially a crutchfield fanboy. No idea what i was doing this weekend dropping that kind of money on a sytem having no idea about nothing. When i came to my senses and reached out to costumer support with my concern; they checked all the orders i made in the last 3 days and said the parts i chose would indeed go well toward making a great system. Thank you, Tom.

You forgot to mention how it gets addicting lol I started with a single 8 on 100 watts now I’m at two 15’s on 3500 watts in a box that is so big I had to assemble it in my trunk!
🤣👍🏽
Same here went from a single 12 on around 25 to 50 W in my bedroom to 2 18’s on 6500 W
1452 u gonna go deaf that’s too much power to ur ears
Fr 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
tThese guys have some of the best customer service, hands down. Highly recommended.
I would say get an amplifier that has at least 50% more power than the RMS rating. Because of the impedance rise caused by the box, your sub will never see anywhere near the power that your amp puts out at nominal load. Also, it’s better to have a bigger amp running low than having a smaller amp running at it’s limit all the time.
Exactly, the sub will only suck in the amount of power it needs and it is not recommended to have the amp gain at max to give some buffer so the amp will last a long time
so for a 300rms sub you get what? 450rms amp? ahahhaa funny and waste of money on the amp.
@@tholo86😂
I would never say what you said. The only reason to get a more powerful amp would be if in the future you knew you were going to add another sub. In other words, the video is correct. For instance, 200 watts = 150-200 watt amp... _NOT 300 watts!_
Regarding amp/s and upgrade/s, it would also have to deduce possibly more channels, such as going from 2 or 4 to 8, in the case of going active on the mid-woofers, tweeters, (mids), keeping the original sub amp and then replacing the other amp with enough channels, or possibly _two_ more amps, (depends). In this case, you would probably want to get rid of the original amp and just add two amps with enough power and channels (with DSP). (Again, depends.)* And, on and on and...!
*If the low, deep sub sound is upgraded/more powerful and drowns out most everything else, well, some people may like that, but most people probably will not.
"Also, it’s better to have a bigger amp running low than having a smaller amp running at it’s limit all the time."
That, in no manner or form, applies! If it does, that's because the system was not properly configured/designed/wired/powered. And, for the most part, and the vast majority of the time, "impedance rise caused by the box" is not even relevant. Again, all of the previous.
IOW, your post is bad advice. Don't get insulted. Take this as a learning experience.
Obviously, someone such as yourself should have a pro do the design/installation according to your budget. Or, at least the design according to your taste/budget, choose the equipment/wiring, and you do the installation.
To whoever: Crutchfield has great service!
I’m watching this video because I decided to buy a sub BECAUSE I just learned this in my ECE lab 2 days ago LMFAO
JL Audio makes the best enclosed subwoofers from 8s to 12s.Deep clean bass.
B2audio! 12inch subs!!
Sub VS golf clubs.... dude hits my middle age hard with that one.
Quite the dilemma! 😃
Thanks, that answers a lot of questions.
The thing he didn't mention was 'free air', which is subwoofer put usually on rear deck. This option is good for guys who want low bass sub, that doesn't take so much space.
To all you new/young drivers it’s better to be the person with the cool stereo system than to be the person that drives to fast wants to race and put peoples lives in danger every time you get into a vehicle. True playing loud music and not being considerate of other people and time of day it is can maybe get you a ticket by police. But no one with a loud stereo has gotten there license taken away or car towed or killed anyone-SPEEDING on the other hand is not an IF but A WHEN it will all go wrong and all the above could happen. And it’s a good argument for your parents to say I want a nice stereo system so I can enjoy my car and to drive slower to enjoy my music. Insurance doesn’t care what Audio you have in your car and your friends will always know when you’ve arrived-sometimes know when your around the block. But be considerate and you’ll never have a problem. And it’s a cool hobby and has a huge community all with mostly good folks always willing to help someone new to the audio world 🔊🔊
Everything from Mozart to Metallica has bass...
...And Justice for All has left the chat
😂
It's a hard decision because I would like the way 2 10s would hit in a sealed box, but I also like the way dual 12s in a ported box would sound. I think I would go with 12s in a ported box though. Won't hit as hard but still get kind of the best of both ..mainly sound quality.
It's a popular choice!
@@crutchfield You guys locate in Brooklyn ??
3:10 15s sealed in a proper box will go low and loud . Usually the same size box for a ported 12 .
This guy is cool! The way he explains things.
Is it easy to detach and reatach a sub whenever we need to have more cargo area...
Prashanth Kolli
Depends on what you call easy. A subwoofer is very easy, it’s two wires to detach per sub.
The amp is taking off at least 5 wires, radio, RCAs, Power, and ground.
It’s pretty easy, just unplug two wires - one for positive terminal and one for negative terminal and remove the box. You just need to make sure those wires don’t touch each other and hopefully nothing metal
If you make it easy to remove the sub you make it easy to steal it too. I'm going to bolt mine in with multiple kinds of security screws.
Thanks so much. Just got my first car. And I'm just trying to learn the basics of how to work these 😂 good thing there's youtube
Thank you for the kind words 🥰👍. We provide lifetime Technical Support with all products purchased from Crutchfield, so we are always able to assist you in getting installed and setup properly!
Sealed is always better. Why? Sound Quality. Yes, ported can hit harder at a particular frequency. But you end up with port noise, and possible mechanical noise from the woofer itself (the excursion noise). Some people don't notice it, or simply don't care. Only get the sub in a tiny plastic housing with amp built in if you are pressed for room. Those kinds of things can fit under the seat, but they wont sound as good as a dedicated sub in a box, with an external amp.
My first system I ever had was a 12" kicker in a sealed box in my 1993 del sol. I loved that system. Kicker speakers all around, single kicker 12." You could literally hear me coming down the street. My buddy would always say "I heard you coming" and it wasn't anything special. I didn't have 1000 watts of sub power. I had the door speakers connected to the headunit power (pioneer, so 15w x4) and then one of those walmart crunch amps. Way back when I didn't know shit. Got the 12" kicker from the audio shop next door, they gave me a deal. The box was a "build it yourself" kit where you glue it and it came with straps to hold it together until the glue dried. I used nails to make it stronger when I glued it along with the straps, and later cut the straps. It hit hard. It rattled your chest. And then my next car was a 06 s2000. And I had a ported box and it never sounded "right." Then after that I traded the s2k in for an 2005 subaru wrx sti.... At that point I bought a dual 12" ported box combo (subs came in the box) and again, there was port noise and just never sounded as good as sealed. Ended up being an idiot and giving the subs too much power and it fried them. Because I wanted that hard hitting bass I used to get with my sealed system. And then I finally went back to sealed. A single 12" 500 watt rms capable subwoofer, and threw 500 watts rms into it. And sure enough, it hit harder, and sounded better than that dual 12" ported box. Ported boxes are only good at one frequency. And usually its a frequency music barely ever hits. Sure great for competitions but musically, its crap.
Now the idea of those double camber builds. Where you have either two separate ports for front/rear of speaker or half sealed and half ported, those might hit well musically. But a typical ported box, trash.
Finally somebody that feels the same way I do I just can't stand that fuzzy loose soft muddy base from a ported box. And yes I have tuned higher and use different subs tried it all I am not satisfied with ported base.
yall are miscalculating the size of the ported box or the size of the trunk its going in to
@@dallasjohnson7492 not at all. Ported sucks. Period. Ive been to tons of car shows and the one thing in common was ported boxes have port noise. Even when its in a trunk of a car, you still hear the port noise. In 13 years of hearing systems, ive NEVER heart a ported system beat the sound quality of a sealed system. Do ported get louder? Sure, but loud isnt always better. Quality matters more. And the best quality you can get is from sealed.
I just want to go as low as I can at a reasonable db level. So I can sit and enjoy all of the music. Don’t need to rattle the trunk or make the sheet metal twerk..but hearing how the music was intended.. not too much to ask?
one 12" is all i need

TIME TO BOP SOME RIP ROACH😈😈
Great video!! I just bought a DS18 1500w and two 12" subwoofers and a touchscreen pioneer radio. I have a 2004 Chevy Blazer that it's going in. They are going to be installing it next week. I hope I picked out a decent sub, amp and radio for this vehicle. As you can tell, this is my first time doing anything like this. Fingers crossed.
how is it?
@@shortboy9725 It is plenty for me. I didnt want something that was going to peel the paint off the SUV every time the bass hit lol. I'm very satisfied. I really like the fact that you can still hear the song as the bass hit. It's perfect for me. I havent even had it full blast yet lol.

Glad you liked the video, Jordan! We'll try to keep 'em coming! :-)
I'm watching this thinking, "I should be writing this stuff down so I know what to look for when I upgrade my bass"
most helpful video i’ve watched
Can you Please do a video rating the best all inclusive Powered Sub/Amp kits for under $500
No
Different types of enclosure/install areas:
Infinite baffle most clean less watts needed and without sacrificing much lows, sub needs to have a high qts above or around .50
Sealed right cubic feet best sound quality sacrificing some room filling lows.
Ported best for boom needs right cubic feet and also huge lows can be tuned unlike out of all these with port area and length, tuning range is usually 50hz-28hz i love me a higher tuned box depthy soul filling punch less boom.
Band pass need to learn more on it but from what i know most superior for the really huge lows like around 28hz
Anyways after some learning and installing/experimenting I still would go with IB easiest space saved and still really good whether through rear deck or through the rear seat hole mounted with a mdf bord and sealed with some pool noodles.

Really good video series y’all have going on for beginners!!!
Ok i get it this is how we chose the right one but how do we chose the left speaker
Actually you need amp that is about 30% more powerfull than your sub/subs to get the clean RMS power. Less powerfull amp will cause distortion/clipping and eventually blow your sub.
Only if you turn the gain up. Underpowering a sub can't hurt it.
GanG914 only if u don’t kno tf u doing I’m running a 4K amp on. A 6800rms 15 and I don’t clip ? Still shaking my windows and doing 154.8 dB (or did in my old car whit same setup) haven’t tested new

You can actually get a sealed AND ported box which is like a 50/50 blend of both rather than 100% sealed or 100% ported. I have a 15 inch fusion sub (125RMS and 600 watt maximum) running on twin quad Chanel 650 (125 RMS) watt pioneer amps in a sealed and ported box and it sounds beautiful.
I never thought of that how was the box built half sealed half ported ?
What are you talking about? Sealed is sealed. You can't have a sealed box with a port. That makes it UNSEALED.
6.5 sinful sound sub, 500 watt Audiopipe amp in a 2017 tacoma
talk about feeling it in the front seat
It is generally advisable to have more amp than the speaker calls for, not less. For. 200 watt speaker, 250 watts clean will do less damage than 150 watts distorted. Assuming, of course, you don't bottom out.
Not necessarily. You want to be close so you don’t run the risk of burn up your subs. I Called JL audio and recommends 750 watt amp for my 800 watt subs

Good point! 🤣

He’s pretty good 😂💪🏽
my pick is the dual 13W7AE-D1.5 with custom ported box and sound deadening for the trunk
Another disadvantage to a woofer is the weight. It will change your gas mileage as they're very heavy. I'm just wondering about that box on the video. Is that big enough? Don't car subs need these huge monstrosities to maximize bass response? I've also always wondered about power to the amp. I've seen videos and pics of guys actually putting 1 or 2 extra car batteries in their trunks (in addition to the normal car battery under the hood) to power their powerful systems. When do you need that extra power, and won't that put heavy stress on the alternator?
Most of the subwoofer boxes shown in this video are preloaded from the manufacturer and built for optimum performance. Ported boxes do play louder than sealed boxes. That's another way to get the most out of a bass system. Another way is to build one that needs a lot of power. Each vehicle will vary on how much aftermarket gear can be added before additional power is needed. A second battery is a way to help get that extra power without upgrading the alternator. Adding a second battery does increase the efficiency of the alternator, but does not increase the use of it. Typically, 750-1000 watts RMS is the starting point at which a second battery is needed
adding a full sound system to your car wouldnt be greater than the weight of no more than a passenger or two, so to say it would vary your mpg is almost comical. most average car audio setups use your cars normal battery for it. it does just fine as you only use your speakers when your car is on.
@@micheleberg4922 Well, there's a reason car manufacturers use "donut" spare tires rather than full-sized ones, and that's because the added weight of full-sized ones would decrease gas mileage. That's the same reason that real race cars take everything out of the interior besides the driver-side seat. The added weight changes the driving characteristics of the car. So, yes, realistically, big subs with big boxes would negatively affect gas mileage.
And technically, gas mileage decreases with more people in the car. That's why car manufacturers publish MPH ratings when tested with only the driver.
I have the small angled 1x11 kicker speaker in my kia soul and it works good, but it gets hot even with maxed out AC. Nothing is set too high.

Looking at getting a spare tire sub. A powered version that gives me bass, but keeps the space in the trunk. I only lose the small tool kit that sits in my spare tire while its mounted. The only issue, I wonder if my spare tire can be mounted face down?
Do you have a specific sub model in mind?
@@crutchfield The JBL Basspro Hub. The powered version. I'm looking to put it into a 2015 Mazda 6. I have the non Bose stereo.
Why would you want to mount the spare tire facing the opposite direction? With the offset on most passenger car wheels, you cannot flip the spare upside-down and still mount it in your spare tire stowage location under the rear storage area. The JBL subwoofer mounts inside the spare tire and would require your spare to be mounted in the original orientation.

Hi ihave 2 dvc subwoofers 4 ohms 400rms each if i connect to parallell 800rms combination at 1ohms my amplifier is 1800rms in 1 ohms this not overpower the amplifier thanks
Hi Sonnel,
If your subwoofers can each take 400 watts RMS, you will need an amplifier that will deliver 800 watts RMS at 1ohm, or 4ohm.
If your amplifier is delivering 1800 watts RMS at 1ohm, you are overdriving your subwoofers.
Feel free to reach out to us if you would like product advice on which amp would best suit your application.

Can you build your own custom box? Or is the construction really important to the sound quality and durability of the sub?
You absolutely can build a customer box. You want to build the box with the right internal volume for the subwoofer, and use high quality materials like MDF.

Very well done. Thanks
but what would be better lets say for movies? (so deep bass notes and bass you can feel).
-A very powerfull 8 inch subwoofer lets say a ´´Sundown Audio X8D4´´ this is an 8 inch 800 watt rms subwoofer.
-Or A jbl gt4 15 inch subwoofer rated at 250 watt rms.
And lets say they are in the same ported box (so both subs are tuned to the same frequency). I think a powerfull high excursion 8 could put up a pretty good fight against a less powerfull and less excursing 15 inch sub. Or am I totally wrong? I mean If you dont want to waste to much space in you home because of speakers. A more powerfull but smaller sub could be a nice solution, but ofcourse will cost more money.
My apologies for my bad spelling and poor word choice. This is not my first language
Bass for movies is all about the feel so the subwoofer that more output, more SPL, is always the better choice. The thiele small parameters help compare them. Qts is a good one to use as it relates to just how resonant a subwoofer actually is which helps with how loud and impactful it will be.

10" subwoofers are usually regarded as the size that gives the best mix of clarity and punch and other aspects of bass. We have advisors that can discuss your goals and vehicle fitment to then give you a personal recommendation on a setup that will work. Here's how to reach us for this help:

What yall think about a single 8inch for a 4 door sedan
A single 8" subwoofer can provide rich and punchy bass for your 4-door sedan without being overpowering. The Alpine S2-SB8 PrismaLink enclosure in the link below would be an excellent choice, and it can handle up-to 300-watts RMS!

I bought you guys subs and speakers would I need to buy all new car door speakers as well!
Sounds like you're ready for some bass! What model subs and amp do you plan to use? What speakers are you using in your car now? What are you using for power?
@@crutchfield I have 1200 watt amp and 2 10s right now. Do I need to replace my car door speakers too?
It is not necessary to replace the speakers when installing a new subwoofer setup. If you are happy with the sound you get from the stock speakers and only think the bass is too weak, then leave the stock speakers in place!
Is 500watts Amplifier is enough for one sub woofer??
Amps and Subs are highly variable. One of our advisors would love to explore some options! bit.ly/2KP1zS3

I wish I could be editing your video so I can synchronize your voice and video.
On Friday I'm getting 2 12in baseline subs and a 1500 watt Amp for 555 dollars completely installed is that decent for the price I don't know much about subs
That is always hard to gauge even with a complete list of the brand and model of all the gear because the cost of labor can widely vary in different areas of the country. We recommend getting the model numbers for all the gear and checking with other installers in your area to see what they would charge to install it
Hi I am looking for kind of an idea of what sub and amp I should replace the factory with I've got a 2006 Civic EX coupe I'm kind of after a sub that acts a bit more bass that's smoother
We can help with that and have advisors here to discuss your goals in greater detail to give you a personal recommendation for all the gear needed to meet it. Here's how to reach us for this help:
