Installing a subwoofer in a car – why did we decide to write about this service separately? Is installing a subwoofer in a car different from installing speakers? Is this service ordered separately from the others? Is a subwoofer really necessary in a car? What is its role? We can list many other questions, but let’s take them in order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our opinion, a subwoofer in a car is necessary if you care about the sound quality of the audio system, its completeness, harmony and depth. Metaphorically speaking, a subwoofer is a jacket in your suit – without a jacket, the image will be unfinished, simple. Speaking in technical terms, the low frequencies that the subwoofer reproduces give the music richness, volume, amplitude and emotionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TYPES OF SUBWOOFERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at what types of subwoofers can be installed in most cars. We will list the options that we work with and offer to our clients. Don’t forget to study the question of how to choose a subwoofer<\/a> before studying the issue of installing a subwoofer in a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first type is a case subwoofer<\/strong>. The case can be ready-made from the manufacturer of one brand or another. We rarely use such options. Basically, our offer is to select a subwoofer speaker for a specific car, audio system and budget. Then, based on the speaker parameters, we make a case that will fit into the car interior as beautifully as possible. We always try to combine the speaker capabilities (we need the best in a certain budget) and the requirements for the case volume (usually we look for a speaker that requires the least volume so that the case does not take up much space in the trunk).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantages of this type of subwoofer are that it is quick to make, can be removed if you need a trunk for other needs, and you can choose a powerful subwoofer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The second type is a subwoofer in a factory case<\/strong>. This is the easiest way to improve the sound of low bass frequencies in your car. Not the best in terms of car audio, but economical and fast, and does not take up any useful space in the trunk. Usually we slightly modify the standard plastic box – we glue vibration insulation to reduce unwanted vibrations, and inside there is a noise absorber. In practice, it has been tested many times – the effect is always good!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Installing a subwoofer in the spare wheel well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The third type is a subwoofer in the spare wheel niche.<\/strong> Not all cars have the ability to install such a subwoofer, but we really love these subwoofers for their ease of installation, low cost, compactness and excellent sound! These subwoofers have appeared in Ukraine relatively recently and have become our indispensable assistants where you need to improve car audio. Another advantage of such a subwoofer is the ability to add it to the standard audio system and get a completely different sound picture due to the low frequencies that appear, because most factory audio systems often have no bass at all.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Installing an ultra-compact flat-panel subwoofer under a seat or in the trunk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And another option for adding bass to the audio system in your car is to install an ultra-compact subwoofer. The enclosures can be made by us, or they can be ready-made solutions. Almost always in such enclosures, the subwoofer speaker plays with a diffuser on the floor, which makes it possible to use the enclosure as part of the floor, if we are talking about the trunk, and you can put bags, suitcases and anything on such a enclosure. If we are talking about installing a subwoofer under the seat, then there can be different options – both with the diffuser down and with the diffuser up, this will not affect the sound quality in any way, and the location under the seat is more reliable in terms of the reliability of the speaker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photo below shows two options – on the right is an ultra-compact subwoofer in a custom case with legs and a speaker with the diffuser facing down, and in the other photo is a ready-made solution from the car brand Helix, a case with a 20 cm speaker (which we installed under the passenger seat in a VW Multivan T6.1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
