What Are the Best Car Audio Subwoofers?
July 19th, 2010 |
Since I can remember, I've been associated with car audio to one degree or another. While the auto companies have greatly enhanced their stock sound in recent years, they still cannot reach the quality provided by after market car audio and video equipment. From my experience, one topic which is invariably discussed is "what are the Best Car Subwoofers" in the marketplace. Honestly speaking, it is obvious the answer is purely subjective and determined by one's relationship with a particular car speaker make. A subwoofer is a larger speaker designed just to reproduce those deep bass frequencies which add so much to the richness and enjoyment of virtually any kind of music.
In the real world it would be very unusual if any salesman ever recommended something other then the brand he personally sells as the best brand subwoofer. While salesmen might come in contact with many different brands, their motive for recommending any given car speaker needs to be suspect since his selling that specific subwoofer brand is his source of personal income. That is why it is refreshing to report the findings of an unofficial survey based on years of responses and suggestions from real buyers of different brands of car subwoofers. This seems like the best means of judging performance of any speaker in the real world environment. I've heard many times of a consumer who adored a specific subwoofer inside the show room and then hated the sound after it was installed in his vehicle.
Our survey indicates that the Kicker 12 subwoofer and the MTX subwoofer are two of the most well liked car subwoofers available. These subwoofers are favorites among serious car audio enthusiasts and even those new to the hobby of car audio.
Three more subs that remain on the favorites list are the JL audio subwoofer, the Rockford Fosgate subwoofer and the Polk Subwoofer. All the brands mentioned have long track records in sound competitions as well as producing good music sound quality overall.
To be judged among the "Best Car Subwoofers", the subs taken into consideration must be capable of creating good sound quality when played at all power levels. Many times certain brands of car audio subwoofers will tend to lose respectable sound quality when played at higher levels. This logically would disqualify them from being evaluated the best car subwoofers.
