The box also contains a
built in amplifier to produce the loudness desired without having to draw on your existing
amplifier and strain it. Most powered subwoofers today can get their signals through a
subwoofer output or other output jack on your amp or receiver and many can even be hooked
up to conventional speaker wires. Since the human ear cannot tell where deep bass comes
from, the powered sub can be placed anywhere within your room, even behind the couch.
There are several typical reasons to own a subwoofer:
- You don't have room for big speakers but you want deep bass. A subwoofer can be combined
with a quality pair of small speakers to create a wonderful full range system without big
tower speakers.
- You rent a lot of movies but the Terminator sounds like Pee-Wee-Herman through your
small system. Pump him up!
- You are a music lover but those big speakers you spent a lot of money for don't reach
down low enough now that you heard your buddy's system. You need a deep bass solution that
doesn't require you to throw away your existing speakers.
- You really don't like the people downstairs.... (just kidding!)

multiple drivers go deeper... right down to 20Hz in some cases!
